Wan PPPoe on usb ethernet asix ax88179

Hi,

i just flash openwrt on my android set top box. The STB is H96 Max X3 using ophub rom https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt. The rom installed was openwrt_official_amlogic_s905x3_k6.6.53_2024.10.01.img.gz. i think it is use kerne 6.6.53. Already install and run correctly.

I add usb ethernet as wan port. i use asix ax88179, i verify that this usb adapter show on lsusb as eth1. My connection from modem is use PPPoe with username and password. I create wan interface with PPPoe with username and password. I have disable the ipv6 to make it simple. When dial on eth1 is show could not connect. i can see tx dan rx number but bot getting IP.

When i switch to eth0 which is the onboard ethernet, it can dial and connected.

How to use the usb adapter for PPPoE? is there any package or setting on this adaptor to make it work?

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

  1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
  2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
  3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.

Thank You for your reply. i will ask to the community who maintain this build.

on your point of view this is related to the driver right? i'm just currious if this problem related to the configuration.

AFAIK, there aren’t any STBs that are supported by the official OpenWrt project (certainly yours is not), so the modifications required to get OpenWrt running on those devices will usually be significant and may result in different config requirements among other things. Therefore, it is more than just the driver - it is the config, the driver, and even the kernel and everything in between.

The question you have needs to be directed to the maintainers who are familiar with the changes and the way their fork actually works.

You can search some old posts, AX88179 isn't a really good USB NIC, better getting a Realtek based.

yes you're right. I manage to get if work with PPPoe with disable wireless network. i can connect around 2-3 minutes then got error dead peer. i think its maybe the driver is not correctly. i try to use my old usb ethernet with realtek chip. seems like no problem on stabilitu but i can not get 100mbps internet speed. i only get around 91mbps with this adapter

Is your old USB ethernet a 100M or 1G type?? If it's 100M then getting 91Mbps should be considered as good.

its 100M. i can get 100-101 with gigabit ethernet. but stability is important so i can stick with this one.

Thank's everyone for the replies
