Many ISPs lock onto the WAN MAC (respectively the dhcp_default_duid) of your router and don't like when it changes. In many cases it helps to power off the modem/ ONT for a while (10 minutes, an hour, my ISP needs longer than that), before switching everything and the new router back on.

How do I see old routers config, I once wanted to access their dash on the local IP and it told me to go over the fking Xfinity app. Which I don't have.
What OO?
I even spoofed the duid using the Mac address it had, if it would use duid type 3 not the one with the timestamp. That's at least what ai suggested me. Changed the request prefix and this what someone on /g/ suggested
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'dhcp'
option device 'eth0'
i have Cumcast
The fiber optic modems come as one with their router, not even spoofing the mac helps. Went to customer support and in store, found out that their caux is compatible with 3rd party modems, but not fiber optic ones.
Isp won't take any other fiber optic modems and pretty much impossible to spoof. At&t on the other hand allows it.
Bridge mode it is.
