Trying to replace Airtel router with my own- PPPoE problem?

[Karan]

Oh damn wtf! Is that over wifi or ethernet to your laptop?

 

[GeekBench]

no,the alcatel one has 1 gbit port.

Via Wifi 5 GHZ

 

[Karan]

no,the alcatel one has 1 gbit port.

Yes, in your case it is, I was pointing out in mine.

The speed over 5Ghz wifi should be better too, my Nexus 4 over 5Ghz, does the same speeds as below on my wireless n300 Netgear router

This is on my desktop

 

[GeekBench]

oh ok

 

[Karan]

What is the result if you hook up wired to the D-Link?

Sorry but i don't have a spare ethernet wire now so i can't test it.

Can you help me with directly connecting it

I think the issue is in the pppoe client.

 

[Karan]

I am sorry but your setup though similar, is also vastly different than mine, both your router and ONT are different models. I am out of ideas as to what can be stopping your laptop going pppoe over the alcatel.

The issue shouldn't be the pppoe client, what version of Windows do you have?

 

[GeekBench]

It's windows 8.1

Can you try doing it on your system ?

 

[Karan]

Ok, I am pretty sure its not the pppoe client, however you can try a third party pppoe dialer from Download Page - cfosSpeed - cFos IPv6 Link - cFos - hrping - Skins - cFos Software scroll down to cfos broadband connect and download it and give it a try.

 

[Karan]

I can do direct pppoe from my system no issues, remember my binatone router that airtel gave me is bridged but vlan tagged. I can also hookup directly to the alcatel ONT and used VLAN ID 1910 on my desktop and go online that way too. No point for me as the alcatel has a 100Mb port, will not make any difference in my case.

 

[GeekBench]

oh ok

 

[GeekBench]

can you recall the steps so i can try setting it up again ?
