FritzBox 7530 - DSL Connection attempt failed - Germany - Maingau-Energie

[MrGcGamer]

Hey there,

I am having trouble to get DSL working with OpenWRT..

So it seems it's able to connect, but under the interfaces section I am getting:

Connection attempt failed.

On my current (non OpenWRT) router I just needed the username, password and set the VLAN ID to 7, which I think I did editing the config, as there isn't an option via the UI (at least I didn't find anything)
(Here is the offical manual to setup a DSL connection Maingau)

This is what my current config on my TP-Link Router looks like:

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated <3

My config looks as follows:

@MrGcGamer

config interface 'wan'
	option device 'dsl0'
	option proto 'pppoe'
	option username 'USERNAME'
	option password 'PASSWORD'
	option ipv6 'auto'
	option peerdns '0'
	option vlan '7'
	list dns '9.9.9.9'
	list dns '1.1.1.1'

Try this version:

config interface 'wan'
        option proto 'pppoe'
        option ipv6 'auto'
        option password 'password'
        option username 'username'
        option device 'dsl0.7'

config interface 'wan6'
        option device '@wan'
        option proto 'dhcpv6'

That's how it works with Deutsche Telekom.

Alright so I got it working.. I changed 2 things:

1. I changed the tone from 'b' to 'bv'
2. I removed "option device 'dsl0'" under WAN and added "option ifname 'dsl0.7'"
   leading to luci telling me that 'ifname' is outdated and then it updated it to "option device 'dsl0.7'" but it also kept the "option vlan '7'" I added earlier

AND a second WAN6 thing appeared, which confuses me
..can someone explain to me why I got 3 WAN interfaces now?

[slh]

ifname is deprecated and shouldn't be used.
option vlan 7 is not necessary (unless you need to distinguish between VLAN and VLAN ID; you don't).
wan6 is (normally) not useful for PPPoE links, IPv6 is handled as part of the PPP session (via option ipv6 auto/ 1), which auto-creates wan_6 instead.

elder_tinkerer's suggestions were spot on (apart of wan6; won't hurt, but doesn't help either).

[MrGcGamer]

so do I just leave it be with 2 WAN6 interface or do I delete one of them?

EDIT:
(I knew that ifname shouldn't be used, but I tried it as the ISP docs seem to be outdated and I wanted to see what happens)

[slh]

The wan6 stanza can be removed (wan_6 is doing the job).
