Hear hear, Openwrt. Sir, if this looks trivial to you and , if it won't take too much of your time, I pay for your advice and/or guidance in corn. 20k sats bounty. I am in the process of setting up a new home network: ISP -> DSL via TAE -> Zyxel modem -> dial in via PPPoe with a Gl.iNet AX1800 (Flint) Router -> Clients, wifi & cable ...and I have not yet failed to fail receiving data from the outside world. Got this far, it does dial into the ISP (winsim), recognizes and fixes time discrepancies. But that's the end of it. Last lines from the log after dialing in: Renamed interface ppp0 to pppoe-wan Using interface pppoe-wan Connect: pppoe-wan <--> eth0.7 Remote message: [UI-SBR:280064,46016;UI-LINEID:WinSIM.2GJS6;] PAP authentication succeeded peer from calling number [REDACTED] authorized - has a VLAN ID tag 7 you see, set in Router in pppoe config, not in the modem - Ipv6 enabled - Static ip6 set for router - Firewall settings untouched - all DNS discovery on default/automatic - DHCP on default When connecting to the router via wifi, clients prompt dns_probe_possible error when trying to look up a website. Is it: DHCP issue? DNS? Firewall zone? ...all of the above? I'm a monkey who got himself a machine gun, starring down the barrel, pulling the trigger and wondering why nothings happening. Last time I did any of this must be 20 years ago, maybe once or twice, with a 56kbps... Ty πŸ€™

Typically you’d have the VLAN tag set on the modem (assuming the ISP specified this) the router is on the β€œLAN” so I’d check that first. Setting DNS on both modem/router to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 will rule out any DNS issues. Finally is the modem set to bridge mode? Can you connect a wired client to the Internet directly into the modem? ping and traceroute are your friend in this situation. βœ…πŸ˜Ž
