I started off with bridge mode, but wasn't successful. I'm just trying to get a connection now. I thought by removing a device I'd reduce the amount of variables = better chance of success. Lol
Maybe a bit of info on my hopefully achievable setup will help. Hg612 gateway bridged to Asus AC 51u ( I got this setup free due to a family member upgrading). I've done a lot of reading and it seems as though people have success through custom firmware like ddwrt, merlin etc, which unfortunately do not support the ac51 and have the option61 option. Padavan is the only exception. I've since reverted back to stock firmware as it seems to have most of the options that other people who succeed have.

Without sight of your HG612 config, I guess you'll try for a pppoe bridge and your router will just have to initiate a pppoe session using the install credentials to get a connection.

These are my bridge settings. Didn't have much luck though. Tried alot of settings on the asus. Closest i came to a connection was by entering all my details manually. The asus showed as being connected but it was lying

Did you try Encapsulation mode set to LLC? That worked for me once.

What makes you think the ASUS was lying?

Have you/do you get an active dsl connection with your bridge mode settings??? (ie do you get sync)

if you do, then the next job is to setup your PPPoe connection on your router....what router are you using?

[Dangeruss]

1: I have tried LLC. I've tried many different combinations in desperation. 2: When I connected to it with multiple devices, I wasn't able to access the internet. It was with a static IP which as far as I'm aware sky don't do, so would of been a short term fix?  I've noticed in the logs that the time and date has synched correctly a couple of times recently, still no dsl up time though. Just did an auto diagnose ping test on the 612 , which said that connecting  the PPPoE of the default gateway failed. As far as I'm aware all my details are correctly wiresharked from the sr102, I did it twice just to make sure. KITUSER my Atm wan is connected and DSL synched with those bridge settings. Onto the asus

still no dsl up time though

Is that a GUI bug? have you checked the stats via telnet

What model asus (and what firmware) is the special option 60 required for sky adsl2??

Do you require merlin custom firmware for that??

[Dangeruss]

Here's the stats. It's the ac51u, which unfortunately isn't supported by merlin, ddwrt etc, because it hasn't got a broadcom chip. Padavan is the only third party firmware and that didn't have  an option 60 / 61 option if that's what's needed.? The hg612 has option 60 support, but i entered what I got off wireshark and it didn't make a difference. Any idea what option 60 info should look like?

Did you know you can plug the HG612 LAN1 into any port on the SR102 and it will recognise there is a modem present and will use it?

[Dangeruss]

I didn't know that actually. Problem is I'm trying to remove the sr102 from the equation as its not very customisable and wi-fi signal is poor.

[Dray]

This is just to test the modem is configured correctly. Alternatively you can connect the modem to a PC and use the built-in PPPoE dialler http://kb.netgear.com/20306/Creating-a-PPPoE-Dial-Up-Connection-on-Windows-7
