I have replaced my ISP provided router with LEDE modem/router.
I entered the DSL info into the WAN and WAN6 interfaces and after a reboot I can see that we have connected successfully.
My issue is that all on my devices on the LAN do not have internet access.
I'm not sure what I have to do, after reading the documentation I can't see the simple step I am missing.
Please can someone on the forum offer a little assistance to a LEDE newbie.
Provider router/modem works perfectly, just wanted the added benefits of LEDE at home so swapped out the provider modem with a BT homehub 5 (for the Gb ethernet ports).
Basic LEDE setup and entered the ISP info in the fields available via LEDE web UI.
LAN is working perfectly, I can ping all devices across wifi and lan.
So, I think its a bridge between the DSL (WAN) and my LAN?
I just don't get it yet and I really want to!.
Most ISPs require a vlan setup for VDSL, so something like "option _orig_ifname 'ptm0.7’" (assuming vlan tag 7 for Deutsche Telekom, british providers seem to use different vlan tags). The PDF at https://openwrt.ebilan.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=266 probably has BT HH5a specific info for several UK ISPs.
I would also drop "option delegate ‘0’" and retain the default wan6 stanza, there's no reason to explicitly disable IPv6.
config interface 'wan6'
option ifname '@wan'
option proto 'dhcpv6'
This looks odd, I can almost guarantee that this should read "option xfer_mode ‘ptm’" and "option annex 'a’" would indicate you are located in the US, all of Europe AFAIK uses annex b.
Here is something from my working HH5A (albeit in germany on a dtag 50/10 link, which uses VLAN7 and pppoe, even though I terminate the pppoe tunnel not on the HH5A):
Since my ISP will sooner or later switch to vectoring I need a vectoring capable firmware, which the default on is not AFAIK, but the phenotype would not be failure to set up a connection, but rather lower available bandwidth than expected due to a fall back profile.
config device 'ptm_dev'
option ifname 'ptm0'
option name 'ptm0.7'
option type '8021q'
option mtu '1500'
option mac 'AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF'
option vid '7'
Sidenote: according to the relevant ITU standards ADSL in theory could use PTM and VDSL2 could use ATM, I just have not yet seen these "unicorns" in the wild, even tough ADSL/PTM would be an improvement for those of us still using ADSL links.
Pretty much all of the world, including europe and the UK in particular, uses annex 'a' (ISDN, which needs the frequencies omitted by using annex b, is/ was only popular in germany), so that should be o.k.
But given the rather heavy config modifications, I'd suggest to revert it all back to defaults (firstboot) - and to only change the the settings that are absolutely required (especially the vlan tag for ptm0).
Oh, I routinely get confused, which I believe is made way too easy by the ITU. For example the Annex that described PTM for the first time is Annex N in ADSL2's G.992.3, even though as far as I know PTM is quantitatively only used in VDSL2. As if the ITU had some fun in muddying the waters
Thank you so much for the input, a little technical in places but a massive thank you.
I restored LEDE to its initial state and followed your instructions and can confirm that the following works with UK ISPs that use BT Openreach FTTC service:
