PPPoE not working after upgrading to 24.10.1

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello everyone! After installing OpenWrt 24.10.1 on my Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit Edition v2, the PPPoE connection to my internet service provider is not working. Could you please help me figure this out? Interestingly, on version 23.05.5, everything works perfectly.

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

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

check if WAN MAC matches the MAC on the device label.

3

Yes. The ISP does not require a specific MAC address.

4

no, but they might be caching the last MAC used....

5

I think MAC rejection happens at a later stage; you get a PADO but authentication fails.

Is a VLAN tag required? Are you sure the DSL or fiber link from the modem to the ISP is up?

7

Yeah, I'm sure it's working. With exactly the same settings the internet works on version 23.05.5. Mac addresses are the same I checked this first of all and asked isp if the mac address is bound they said no.

8

Reset the default settings and configure only the connection in the WAN tab - PPPoE and check.
With the provider available to me with the same type of connection, this exact router works great.

9

I set it up the same way. WAN to change the PPPoe protocol and entered the password and login.

The provider should see a more extended LOG and can tell you where the error is. And you look at the LOG in the router itself. It is better to write the login and password in a text document and enter them using copy-paste.

I am also facing a similar issue although it is a random disconnects, today it was absolutely horrible, I have downgraded to 24.10 as writing this reply, will report back in a few days

I don't think my ISP is gonna give me the logs. Since you have to leave a request, they respond within 5 days. It is better to sit on version 23.05.5. And I have already provided my logs here.

I do not suggest you request a LOG from your provider.
If the provider is adequate, then he will answer over the phone that for such and such a reason the authorization does not pass, but of course it is up to you what to sit on. From the piece of log that you provided it is difficult to guess what your problem is.
My provider has exactly the everything works without any problems, so the problem is clearly not in the router and firmware.
