ZanVog Posted February 26, 2024 Share Posted February 26, 2024 Hi to community! i would like to ask what is the best WAN settings to use for my R3 From my provider i have, PPpOE fiber 1gb down and 100mb up the router i have is FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber, cause it is voip, the router doesnt support bridge mode or DMZ. it only has, pppoe Passthrough and Port Sharing (witch i have enable both of them). What is the best settings for my R3 WAN, PPPoe or DHCP. (i have my provider PPpOE user & pass) . thnx in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 26, 2024 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2024 If you have the Fritz handle PPPoE and use the port sharing option (Open this device completely for internet sharing via IPv4 (exposed host)) then you'll be able to get full speeds through the R3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanVog Posted February 26, 2024 Author Share Posted February 26, 2024 this is what i have done to fritz... for this IP (R3), open everything for IPv4, IPv6 is closed for both of them, from what i have read from the forum. but in my R3 WAN settings what Connection Type i should use? DHCP, Static, or PPPoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 26, 2024 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2024 You would use DHCP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanVog Posted February 26, 2024 Author Share Posted February 26, 2024 Ok ok, so DHCP in R3, and what ip I get I will use it for the fritz ip4 exposed host. And as i can imagine, this is the optimal settings for R3 with fritz routers without having double Nat types etc etc. Thanks in advance again, sorry for my bad English 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 26, 2024 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2024 So the IP in WAN Settings on the R3 will be the IP you want to use on the fritz. You won't get a double NAT doing this so all good! You're English is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanVog Posted February 27, 2024 Author Share Posted February 27, 2024 am i complete crazy that i think with PPPoE settings on R3, the internet is super responsive and stable? i have in R3 all off except, QoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 27, 2024 Administrators Share Posted February 27, 2024 If that's what feels best for you that's great! You are eliminating a hop so it does make sense to an extent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanVog Posted February 27, 2024 Author Share Posted February 27, 2024 I m not gonna lie I Google what a hop is/mean, but I got it 😂. One more question, sorry for the spam. I can use PPPoE via R3 WAN as I say and works perfect. but when I go to advance settings and adding VLan on with my provider value of 835. My connection goes offline (I have done modem reset, still no). Is something I m doing wrong? Does it have an actual point/reason of having this on?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 27, 2024 Administrators Share Posted February 27, 2024 You generally add the VLAN as it is required for an internet connection but as you have a connection without it you don't need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
