HG612 from bridge to route
« on: April 16, 2019, 09:56:42 AM »

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.

and my static route back to my router.

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
Code: [Select]
"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.

Can I ask what speed you achieve from your current package?

what you want to do is only suitable on ADSL or slow FTTC.
The HG612 bottlenecks around 40Mb (combined up/down) throughput when doing PPP.

currently 73.9 Mbps down and 18.8 Mbps up... (Vodafone)

Sounds like I would be better to leave things as is and live with the IP change once in a while.
