Thank you Fraser.
I can confirm what you instructed me to do has worked.
I also upgraded firmware and had to factory reset and restart router for it to work. Internet light came on.
as a bonus I didn’t have to enter PPPOE with R3 because it detected internet automatically. Nice.
with netduma r2 and xr700 had to enter PPPOE.
thank you very much for the quick help and response.
