Hi,
I have an unlocked HG612 currently running in bridge mode I used the following instruction
https://support.aa.net.uk/Router_-_EchoLife_HG612 to configure it, including access from my LAN over the WAN port.
My WAN settings.

I then enter my PPPoE credentials in my WAN section of my Unifi USG router.
In addition, I had to add a pesudo-ethernet interface to my router so it could find my modem over the WAN port.
For those familiar with Unifi gear this involved using the config.gateway.json
"interfaces": {
"pseudo-ethernet": {
"peth0": {
"address": ["192.168.2.50/24"],
"description": "Access to Modem",
"link": ["eth0"]
}
}
},
"service": {
"nat": {
"rule": {
"5000": {
"destination": {
"address": ["192.168.2.100"]
},
"outbound-interface": ["peth0"],
"type": "masquerade"
}
}
Everything works fine. What I would like to do is to have my HG612 handle the PPPoE connection i.e. change the modem into route mode. The reason for this is that on occasion I have to reboot my router or turn it off I lose my IP address and as I would almost never turn off or reboot my modem.
I changed my WAN settings as follows and enabled DHCP as follows, I associated the DHCP with the new WAN settings. On my USG router I changed my WAN connection from PPPoE to DHCP. The modem connected ok, my USG router obtained the IP from my ISP but I was not able to connect to the internet with any devices.

I understand having two routers handling DHCP is not a great idea but given they are on different subnets I assumed this would be ok.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete.
