Hi,
Despite multiple attempts to connect my TP Link Archer C20 v4 19.07.7 to the VDSL2 Modem of my ISP, it simply refuses to connect with a PADO timeout. This is not the case when it connects to my Windows 7 desktop, where it successfully connects with no issue.
Hence, I can say with certainty that it is the Router's problem. I may have configured something wrong. Additionally, the modem does not have a VLAN ID.
How do I go on about this?
Thank you very much.
Can you show us a screenshot of the configuration on the Windows computer, and a copy of the "/etc/config/network" file on your router?

What do you mean, exactly? Do I show you the control panel?
we want to see the PPPoE config of your Windows machine.

Clone the MAC address of your desktop PC to the router's wan interface.
Are you saying that for the most part, I configured the connection correctly sans cloning MAC address? What happens if I disconnect the machine? Will the connection still remain without the Windows PC?
the modem will think it's still talking to the PC, since the Archer have the same MAC.
Thus maintaining the connection, but instead of the windows machine, it's the router that has the MAC. Correct?
Yes, correct.
Sorry for asking a noob question, but how do I do that exactly?
Do I use uci set "MAC address"? If so, I did that and yet LuCI does not show any change. Please advise me on this. I did it in this format when I inputted it in the command line:
uci set network.wan.eth0_2_dev.macaddr='xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-' (Something like this)
AFAIK, It has to me 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' for the change to be reflected in LuCI, right?
Seems it's been reported before ...
anyway, read Is the Wan Mac address override working in 19 with Luci? - #5 by bill888
I had a quick read on this. Apparently, overriding the MAC Address for when the connection option is PPPoE is not possible since the option for "override MAC" is not available; this means that I'll have to edit it via ssh.
It seems that the only way I can configure this is to do so manually via ssh;
How do I input this in /etc/config/network? I'll most likely have to input this via uci via "uci set" Is that right?
config interface 'wan'

option _orig_ifname 'eth0'
option _orig_bridge 'false'
option proto 'pppoe'
option password 'xxxxxxxx'

option macaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'

I got to solve the problem!
A short summary of the steps for Globe Telecom Philippines VDSL PPPoE Users:
Go to Switch of LuCI;
If it does not work:
does your 2nd last post reflect the manual configuration you had to do, to get it to work?
and did it work without cloning the MAC ?
I edited my latest solution. Please take a look.
