Redflame Posted Friday at 04:57 PM Posted Friday at 04:57 PM I am moving from my current ISP to a newer ISP. There may be a chance that my service could go live without the new router arriving yet therefore I may need to plug my R3 directly into ONT until I get new router for DMZ. I was told not so long back, that there was a disconnect bug with direct PPPoe.

So from what I read, you have to go back to older firmware and do a certain approach to get it to not disconnect, but you also noted you may not have an issue if you have a static ip? I have order a static one with my isp due to having nat issues with my current isp.

That's correct, though you may not get the issue initially - that person didn't right away, was only after a factory reset it occurred. As in setting the WAN IP as static on the R3 might help, I wouldn't necessarily suggest buying a static IP purely for that purpose though as it's not a proven workaround.

Thanks for clearing it up for me. Static IP is part of the package, but thanks for clarifying what you mean about wan. My service is going live in 4 days time and router is coming in 4 days, so I may try to plug r3 in if it doesn’t arrive when I go live. As a temp solution, if it works it works if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Hopefully it will be less than 24 hours just in case. I am not sure if you recall, but I did struggle with whole r3 in DMZ, just about manage to do it, haha. I’m a technical noob, so thankful for all your support. I am getting a Fritzbox from my isp. I understand you have to do an ‘expose host’ for the R3 to use it to do pppoe. Are you aware if setting this up is hard or straightforward?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted 3 hours ago Administrators Posted 3 hours ago Thanks for the update! So if like you said the fritzbox doesn't arrive by the time the service goes live and you want to connect the R3 up (presumably to an ONT?) then you'll need to use PPPoE. If you want to use the fritzbox and connect the R3 to that then the expose host option is essentially the DMZ which would mean that the fritz handles PPPoE and the R3 doesn't, it will just ensure you don't get any NAT issues using the two together. Pretty straightforward for the exposed host option, just entering the R3 IP or MAC address as far as I am aware but any issues with any of it do let us know!
