Running PPPoE on NETDUMA R3?

[Skeptismo]

Hi Guys, I'm just starting with NETDUMA R3 and I remember I have seen few posts before around PPPoE but better to ask directly.

I have Telekom VDSL with my own Fritzbox installed so that is my modem/router and now I have R3 ... I tried to use the phone line cable directly into the WAN port "blue one" on the R3 and added all the login details and VLAN ID etc but the Internet never came up. is it that R3 does not have a modem at all or I just need to figure out my PPPoE settings if something was missing?

if R3 does not have modem why does it have PPPoE option in the software? any help will be greatly appreciated. I don't want to buy any more devices Fritzbox was already expensive enough and I want to remove it and only use R3 directly.

I have installed R3 after the Fritzbox for now and that works fine but I think I can do better without FritzBox...is there a cheap modem out there that can be used instead of Fritzbox in case R3 does not run PPPoE natively ? don't want to spend too much money...

Bildiğim kadarıyla netduma r3 te vdsl desteği yok. Fiber bir bağlantınız varsa doğrudan netdumaya bağlayıp interneti kullanabilirsiniz. Ancak vdsl bağlantınız varsa, pppoe pass-through ile r3 ile ppoe bağlantısı kurabilirsiniz ya da r3 ü bridge moda alabilirsiniz.

Thanks I translated that  I have an option in FritzBox to allow PPPoE path through that might allow R3 to dial which I might try also...

The cable is important, if the phone line cable is not an ethernet cable then you will not get internet through it with the R3. Make sure you're using the correct cable and it should then work.

Depending on setups some people may be able to connect the R3 directly to an ONT/wall in which case it would be needed or they can replace the existing router and connect the R3 direct to the modem and then use PPPoE.

I suspect it's the cable issue you mentioned.

Well it is not really an ethernet cable RJ45 type ... it is like a phone line RJ11 from what I see ... left side TAE they call it is on the wall socket and the right side into the router...

Anyone from Germany here to support? is there a cable to buy that converts TAE to Ethernet? RJ45 that has 8 cables not just 2? would that work or it has to be always 2 cables internally ?

VDSL requires a modem, so I would just keep your Friztbox & use it solely as a modem.

Disable the Friztbox WiFi and put the R3's Wan IP into DMZ.

So just plug R3 into the WAN port “blue” on Fritzbox ?

anything special in config in Fritzbox or just let R3 pick dhcp ip or use static?

Es gibt auch ein deutsches Forum hier 🙂

Du solltest ein paar Sachen beachten.

1. Welchen Provider hast du? Telekom hat VLAN ID7

2. Wenn du die Fritzbox als Modem nutzen willst, musst du etwas googeln.
 

3. Hier findest du ein paar Sachen die auch für den R3 passen:

4. Dann solltest du beachten das ein TAE Stecker mit RJ45  Anschluss ist ok, aber du kannst das auch etwas optimieren.
Weil du eh nur 2 Adern brauchst. Aber Patchkabel ist nicht so gut (Litze), da ist Verlegekabel besser (Draht).
Da musst du mal genau sagen was du machen möchtest.
