PPPOA Bridge?

My ISP uses PPPOA and i'm struggling to set the linksys x3500 into bridge mode, where I can use a DDWRT R6300 as the router. Is it possible to have a half bridge with the x3500? The linksys x3500 has the following modes but I do not know which one I should use:Bridge mode onlyRFC 2684 bridgedRFC 2684 routedIPoA
Any suggestions would help

I would try "Bridge Mode Only", Disable DHCP and set the X3500 IP Address to something like 10.10.10.1. Then configure the PPPoa connection in the R6300. This is my guess but I warn you accessing the X3500 after a configuration like this will require setting your computer's LAN adapter to a Static IP Address 10.10.10.2 because DHCP will be disabled in the X3500.

PPPoE Bridge Domain Interface

Does anyone know if it's possible to terminate PPPoE sessions on an ASR1K BDI interface? We have two 7609s both terminating on the ASR1K with the same customer vlans. Just trying to figure out the best way to terminate the connections since they both have the same vlans.
Thanks,
Shane

Could you please give more information about your connections.

Airport Extreme no longer able to connect with PPPoE

Came home last night to find the amber light blinking on my Airport Extreme 802.11n. I figured it and the DSL modem needed a power cycle (they often do). However, even after power cycling several times I was still unable to connect to the internet. When I plugged my macbook pro directly into the DSL modem and used a PPPoE connection I have set up for just these times, it connected instantly. I tried upgrading the airport to the most recent firmware, no change. I tried downgrading several times until I got all the way back to the 7.3 release. Still no change. I have the macbook set to display connection time in the menu bar. When trying to use the airport for internet, it keeps saying "Connecting to PPPoE" but then fails. It will keep trying and failing.
I've had this exact setup for years, no problems. Could it be that the base station is dead? I can't understand how that could be since it seems like a software thing? Please help with any thoughts! Thanks.

I've only just got a Vigor 120 ADSL Modem (PPPoA->PPPoE bridge) and had some problems of a similar nature. Part of the problem (something Apple could address if they wanted) is that if you set it to PPPoE for WAN port, it can't talk plain Ethernet on that port so you can't see the ADSL status without unplugging the ethernet which of course resets the ADSL connection. It'd be nice if Apple allowed it to work. The easiest "option" I think they could add would be:
On the PPPoE page, an option "Route private addresses outside PPP" default to off.
Enabling this would mean any routed IP (modem is 192.168.2.1, airport LAN is 192.168.1.1/24) would not be PPP encapsulated if it was a private address (192.168..., 10...) allowing the status page to work and not breaking anything internet wise. I'm sure this wouldn't just be useful to me... Tell you what, Apple, if you make this happen, I'll upgrade to the new 802.11n dual band.
I was getting "Looking for PPPoE host" "Negotiating PPPoE connection" for ages. Some combination of resets and replugging the ethernet cable to the back of the modem did fix it, I haven't worked out exactly what works reliably yet and I don't want to screw up my signal->noise ratio more by doing unnecessary modem resets.

Connecting a modem, problem solving PPPOA

Hi everyone,
I've purchased the Airport Extreme (dual) and I've also got a new Broadband Package on the way due to my last ISP being a failure!
The ISP is PPPOA, as was my last one, and as far as I can see the Airport Extreme has no support for this. Only PPPOE.
I also have a Netgear DG834G, which I was planning to use as a modem, but since the airport can't support PPPOA, that's out of the window, right?
1. Will using the Airport as a bridge and connecting to it cause any problems (speed decreases etc) with the internet?
2. Is is best if I purchase a Vigor 120 which will provide a PPPOA to PPPOE bridge, therefore solving the problem? Or is this not needed and will provide no advantage?
Any ideas welcome, got a few days to get it solved!
Thanks,
Ste.

The ISP is PPPOA, as was my last one, and as far as I can see the Airport Extreme has no support for this. Only PPPOE.
That is correct. The AirPorts do not support PPPoA to provide user credentials to the ISP. You would require another device: modem, another router, or your computer that support PPPoA to provide these.
I also have a Netgear DG834G, which I was planning to use as a modem, but since the airport can't support PPPOA, that's out of the window, right?
Not necessarily. You could connect the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) directly to one of the Netgear's LAN ports with the AEBS configured as a bridge. This would allow the Netgear to provide both NAT & DHCP services for the entire network.
1. Will using the Airport as a bridge and connecting to it cause any problems (speed decreases etc) with the internet?
No, as a bridge, the AEBS would become a "passive" device.

3rd party router does not have PPPoA option and wo...

Hi there, I just switched to the regular BT Broadband this week, and I opted out of a Home Hub 4 as I already own a modem + router that I used to connect to my old ISP with in bridged mode.
However, for some reason I cann't get this same setup to work with BT Broadband. If I connect my modem up on its own and set it to PPPoA/PPPoE mode, and enter the BT username and password, the internet works fine, however if I connect the modem to my router's WAN port, set the modem to bridged mode, and enter the appropriate settings into my router, it simply does not connect.
My modem is a TP-Link 8817 and my router is an Asus RT-N15U.
On my modem there are the following encapsulation settings I can use: "Dynamic IP Address", "Static IP Address", "PPPoA/PPPoE" & "Bridge Mode".
On my Asus router, there are the following encapsulation settings: "Automatic IP", "Static IP", "PPPoE", "PPTP", "L2TP".
I received a sheet with my modem showing the settings for each UK ISP, and it states that BT Broadband uses PPPoA, however my Asus router only has a PPPoE option and it's not connecting when I choose this option whilst my modem is in bridge mode.
Can anyone help me, or am I simply snookered?

As the Asus is PPPoE only I think you may be out of luck unless one of the gurus has any ideas. You may have to put it in a box until you get infinity- sorry.
I presume you were on an ADSL connection with your previous ISP.

Can't get WRT54G to work for close to a year now.

I've been having major problems with my WRT54G router to work properly, for close to a year now. I have a: Westell 2200 Modem, connected to DSL (Verizon, connected through PPPoE) WRT54G Modem (Linksys) Laptop with Wireless Card (XP) Desktop with Wireless Card (VISTA) Desktop hooked directly to router (XP) The problems are: Connecting directly to modem (ethernet), internet works fine. All my wireless computers SEE the router, and have 5 bars, but I cannot connect to the internet regularly. I've tried everything. Configuring it manually, using the LELA, etc. etc. I've tried every mode on the router. PPPoE, Bridge, Automatic Config, Static IP I've tried replacing the router, 3 times. I've tried upgrading/rolling back the Router software versions I've tried Linksys Custom Support line dozens of times (Useless, and now they wont let me call without taking more of my money) On my Vista, to even connect to the wireless network, I have to reboot 3 times, repair my connection, make 4 failed attempts to connect, finally connect (limited connectivity) I've called Verizon (they blamed Linksys) and I've called Linksys (they've blamed Verizon) On My laptop, I can connect sometimes, successfully, but I have to reset my router about 4-5 times a day. On our Desktop XP (wired to router) the connection resets alot as well. Everyone I know just plugs their router in, and it works fine. I've had to mess around with the options and menus for weeks to even get some internet. Is something wrong here??

These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

Trouble setting up wireless cameras with airport extreme

I am trying to set up my alarm dot com wireless cameras and am having trouble getting them to connect to my Airport Extreme. With my prior D-Link router, there was no issue, but since upgrading to the Extreme, I can get them to locate the network, but not connect.

Add me to the list of people with Netgear DM111P ADSL modem and AEBS(n)...I can connect fine to the internet directly from MB Pro to modem, and for the last couple months have used the Netgear with my trusty AEX, no problem.
Now I finally get my AEBS from Canada (here in Dubai, UAE) and I have wasted hours trying to get on the internet with the AEBS. I have it configured exactly the same as the AEX is! One works fine, the other not at all. Exasperating.
I am using the Netgear with PPPoA Bridging (the correct setting for the ISP here and what works with the AEX and direct connection). The AEBS shows it is getting the IP correctly and has a solid green light. My MB Pro shows it is getting an IP from the AEBS's DHCP server. And shows entries for the DNS servers.
Yet..no internet. From the number of complaints with this exact same setup...it ain't me...I have used and configured over a dozen routers and modems from all major manufacturers, used DSL/ADSL/cable, PPPoe, PPPoA, etc etc...and I'm stumped.
This is NOT a typical Mac product. I am not happy. If someone figures this out, you will have my admiration.

DrayTek Vigor 120 + Airport Extreme Base Station? I have queries.

Ok, so my 3 or 4 year old USR 9108 router went down today-- again. I'm fed up and want a new one. It dies on me once or twice a month. It has decided it doesn't like my powerline adapters lately. and I'm fed right up. I run an internet radio station and what I need is stability.
At the moment, I'm thinking of setting up a DrayTek Vigor 120 ADSL modem (modem-only) with the Airport Extreme Base Station for my router. (I already have an Express on my network.)
First of all, can anyone please comment on whether they have this set-up and whether it's solid? I've heard good things about both of these devices, and I need something that's not going to flake out as regularly as my USR has been doing of late. Rock solid is a good thing for a 24/7 stream.
Second, can I just confirm a few questions that I think I know the answer to, but want to be sure before shelling out?
I am in the UK using an ISP that uses PPPoA; so I need to be sure the modem has a PPPoA to PPPoE bridge in order for the Airport to talk to the outside world. (Right?). I gather the DrayTek will do this. Will it therefore be just a question of setting the Airport to connect via PPPoE and then entering my ISP login settings in Airport Utility?
I need a setup ideally that, like the USR, will allow me to assign IP addresses manually to some machines or devices on my network but allow DHCP on other things (like my iPhone). It's particularly important that the radio stream should have a static IP. I gather, from having a play with my Express's settings, that I'll be able to accomplish this either directly or by DHCP IP-reservation. Directly would be preferable. Therefore, if I, e.g., assign my computers an IP address on their local network settings and then just shift the Airport's DHCP range so that it starts with (say) 192.168.1.10, rather than, 192.168.1.2, will the Airport be happy with that?
I also need port forwarding / port mapping. This should be o.k., right?
Thanks for help, people.

I'm running a very similar setup here in the UK. I use a Netgear DG834 rather than the Draytek 120 which I was looking at. I use a Time Capsule connected to the router which is in half-bridge mode and this allows me to connect using PPPoE, which is possible on the BT ADSL network, which I didn't know before! - there's no need to get an expensive PPPoA-PPPoE bridge. I guess the Draytek would do an even better job than the Netgear, but mine was the free solution
I use the TC to give out addresses to a network of various kit, with one fixed IP for a specific device. I find the TC and my airport express very easy to set up and run, if slightly light on the details of what's actually going on. That said, if it doesn't work, then they're probably broken!
Nothing you've asked for is out of the ordinary / impossible on the apple kit.
Hope that helps!

Alternative to HH4 Separate Modem and Router

I'm on a ADSL 8mb G.DMT line and find my HH4 severely lacking in features. Most importantly i need QoS to manage the available bandwidth between users and prevent one device hogging the connection. So clearly i needed a better router.
I already had a spare netgear wnr2200 running dd-wrt custom firmware so it was suggested that i purchase a Huwaei HG612 to go with this. I took this advice, unlocked it so that i could use it with ADSL but found it dropped connection every 1 minute when connected to a router over PPPoE. Theres not many routers that support connecting to a modem over PPPoA so i purchased a Draytek Vigor 120 that was capable of doing a PPPoA to PPPoE bridge. This didnt drop but had packet loss when behind a router.
I havent looked into the causes of these failed attempts but presume its something to do with how BT handles ADSL lines. I did have a vigor 120 working as above on a ADSL line some years ago on the same equipment so this would suggest BT have changed something.
So 2 failed attempts i'm now asking what would be a good separate modem and router to go with my bt adsl connection? What are other people using on BT these days?

There are many good links in the forum with detail. I have a linksys but not that model. So you trying to get 200MOdem >>> Linksys >>>> G5.
If the G5 works directly to Modem then is should be small issue to insert linksys. I had to go to 192.168.1.1 and "config" the Linksys to act as router/wireless ap.
You'll need some datapoints from your ISP and then you can select the wireless settings. Typically DHCP and a security setting, like WPA Personal password. Also change your networks name from Linksys to something else.
It sounds as if your ethernet connection config on the G5 might contain the ISP specific information that now needs to go into the router. Such as connection type...i.e. ppoe and user id password if requireed etc. You would then configure Airport connectivity, primarily just DHCP. (just turn on linksys and then turn on G5 and Airport, you should see your network in the drop down.

Cisco WRVS4400N v2 FW 2.0.21/Cisco 2951 IPSec Tunnels

Hi,
We have an CISCO 2951 as a central hub in an IPSec VPN community, with six WRVS4400N branch office routers connecting into it.
Setting up the VPN tunnels worked fine, except after a while the tunnels seem to disconnect all by themselves, and they will not reconnect. Browsing the Cisco WRVS4400N logs we get:
[VPN Log]: ERROR: "Taller-182": pfkey write() of SADB_X_DELFLOW message 16 for flow [email protected] failed. Errno 14: Bad address
If I restart the WRVS4400N , the VPN connects just fine. If I let it sit for a while (like an hour or so) and hit connect, it connects just fine as well. Furthermore, if I enter the configuration screen for the VPN tunnel on the WRVS4400N , and hit SAVE (make no changes) it also connects. Just over time it seems to disconnect, and will not reconnect without a restart.
Can anyone enlighten me to a source of the problem??

Hello Thomas,
In my case, it was pfSense Linux firewall connected to the WRVS4400N...
We changed the ISP modem during the troubleshooting and as a result, the tunnel was always up at both sides. In both modems (the original modem and the new one) we used PPPoE (bridge mode) so there was no reason to have a problem with the first one...
Unfortunately, with the new modem we got another problem:
- If I try to connect from the pfSense network to the WRVS4400N network I have access all the time
- If I try to connect from the WRVS4400N network to the pfSense network I am getting "Request timed out". If I do PING x.x.x.x -t for a minute I am getting a reply and the connection works fine. As soon as I stop using the tunnel for more then 5 minutes, the WRVS4400N shows that the tunnel is up but the ping shows again "Request timed out".
As a final solution, we replaced the WRVS4400N with RV-042 and now it works fine at both sides all the time...
So... Sorry but I am done with the WRVS4400N. Do not have time for it.

Airport Extreme and BT ADSL

I've tried for hours to find a discussion that concludes by recommending an ADSL modem to pair with a (Fifth Generation) Airport Extreme Base Station using one of the BT-based broadband services in the UK. I'm currently working very reliably through an aging Belkin Wireless G Router (F5D7633x4) but I'm updating my whole Mac set-up (just received a gorgeous top-of-the -range 13-inch MacBook Pro with SSD - what a gem) and am looking for gigabit wired connection and genuine - ie simultaneous - dual band wireless working. After a massive amount of Googling I plumped for an Apple Store refurb AEBS - useful saving over list price and I'm sure the package has never been opened. My logic is that the AEBS will last for years but I may want to update the modem as DSL evolves. By the way, my ISP, NewNet is satisfactory in every other way but their techicnal support doesn't seem to know the difference between a modem, a router and a device that combines the two functions; they advised me that the majority of gigabit/dual-band "routers" have a built-in modem, which is simply wrong.
Anyway - any advice on choice of modem and setting it up.

Double NAT is usually not too serious of an error on most home networks. It does cause issues with devices like on-line gaming consoles. Sometimes devices will get "lost" on the network when you apply a future firmeware update as well.
It also tends to slow connections down a bit since the signal must pass through 2 firewalls instead of one,
The Guest Network feature may...or may not...work correctly with the Double NAT.
If you notice no ill effects, you may be OK.
If you want to eliminate the Double NAT, that may not be possible with the D-Link depending on your DSL connection type. Normally, you would configure the D-Link in Bridge Mode and set up the PPP service on the AirPort Extreme.
The problem will be if your DSL authenticates using PPPoA. The AirPorts do not support that, only PPPoE.
That is why I recommended the Vigor product. It is a PPPoA to PPPoE bridge.

Best modem for Time Capsule

I don't see any recent questions for this don't freak if it's a repeat Q.
NB: I"m only talking about home network speeds. not the internet
I'm finding them slow and nothing like the 1Gbps + speeds advertised. more like 70Mbps!
Is this because my EE bright spark modem only has 100Mbps LAN ports?
So if I purchase a new modem with 1Gbps WAN ports it should boost my home network speeds?
I'm assuming the TC and my MBA are talking to each other wirelessly on ac wifi but I think it may be the wired connection slowing things down?
If thats the case, which modem should I buy?
Thanks in advance

I was about to do that today and I checked the wifi and I'm connected to the 5Ghz ac at 867Mbps.
Is there anything to be gained by swapping my stand ISP provided modem router (with wifi disabled) with a dedicated ethernet modem placed in bridge mode so that the TC is doing all the work.
After a bit of research this one seems to be highly rated. Below is the description which might as well be Greek to me.
Thanks in advance Bob.
The DrayTek Vigor 120 is an ADSL modem with an Ethernet connection; it is not a router but a true ADSL Ethernet Modem. By providing a PPPoE to PPPoA bridge, the connected device (firewall, router or PC) can log into the Internet (your ISP) directly and have full control over the ADSL connection - that makes the Vigor 120 a unique product. You can connect any device to the Vigor 120 which has a PPPoE client facility, which includes PCs, most Ethernet-WAN routers and the Apple Airport/Time Capsule™ products.
Other ADSL Ethernet 'modems' use workarounds to get a public IP address 'through' to your secondary device/client, requiring non-standard operation and complicated dual-stage setup (modem logs in, router routes) but the Vigor 120 provides the secondary device with a real routed IP connection and the ability to fully manage the connection, making setup easy. In most cases, the Vigor 120 needs nosetup or configuration - just plug it in and set up your PC or router. All login/ISP details are entered on the connected client device, not the Vigor 120. The actual connection to your ISP is still PPPoA (unlike other modems which only provide PPPoE native bridging), which is the unique feature of this product and makes it compatible with all UK ISPs, where PPPoA is used as standard.
This method also differs from using a regular ADSL router which logs in itself and then uses NAT or multiple public IP addresses to create an onward client connection for your secondary device; that is not IP Address thrifty, or introduces secondary NAT compromises. With the Vigor 120 bridge/modem, you get a true single public IP address (or multiple, if you have them) straight through to your firewall/router, which also has complete control of the ISP connection.

Help setting up airport extreme, clueless here

First off, I just purchased my macbook pro last week and am still getting used to the whole Mac world after having PCs my entire life. Today, I picked up a airport extreme base station to replace my old 2wire gateway. I was told that the extreme needed a DSL modem to work and I just so happend to have kept my old Speedstream 5360 ADSL modem.
This is where I'm totally lost. I have no idea how to set the network up or anything. To help paint a picture, my current set up is this: a Dell desktop connected to the 2wire via an ethernet cable. The 2wire has the DSL phone line in it along with the power cord. Also in the house are two other laptops that connect via wifi. The 2wire was setup by my friend who now lives in another state and I don't know anyone else who is very tech savvy.
So if I understand correctly, the way the new setup would be: DSL phone line into the speedstream, an ethernet cable from speedstream to the WAN port on extreme and then an ethernet cable from extreme to Dell?
Beyond that, I'm totally lost as to what I need to configure on the Dell computer or on the laptops. I tried for an hour or so but can't seem to get the hang of it. PPPoE, bridged, DH-something...all Greek to me. If it helps, I'm using AT&T/SBC.
Any help? Thanks!

try this ..... might help. I used this to set mine up

Modem for use with airport extreme?

I know that the AirPort Time Capsules do not have a built in modem and I need an external one.
I also have ADSL internet as opposed to Fibre so I need to find something suitable to sit between the Time Capsule and the interent. I realise that I could simply use the modem / router supplied by my ISP and switch off the wi-fi on that and just use the modem aspects, but this uses an additiional power source.
My question is: Is there a suitable modem that will sit between the AirPort Time Capsule and an ADSL internet connection that does not need and additional power source?
If not (and I suspect there isn't as I can't find one), then is there any benefit in having a independent modem only device over using the ISP supplied modem / router and switching the router aspects off?
Thanks for any advice as I am having a real nightmare setting up my third party modem / router to work with an Apple network with some additional non-Apple devices and feel that going down the all Apple route of an AirPort would just make my life so much simple...

PPPOA is the big issue..
You cannot bridge to a modem running that authentication. There is no client that will work so the Apple has to be in bridge.. or some dicey double NAT setup.
The Thomson/Technicolor offers a dhcp spoofing but it goes through the NAT and it also causes heaps of issues.. Thomson modem routers have the worst possible NAT called full cone. You must manually bind all UDP ports to the NAT to get access.. and even that is not workable for many functions.
So you are quite right.. it is a mess.
Hence my thought to switch to an Apple router as it automatically opens relevant ports and recognises Apple devices. I have no idea (at this stage) how to set up a router / modem or bridge or other device to sit between the Apple AirPort Time Capsule and the ADSL internet connection.
Using the Apple router to open ports, is not going to help.. because you cannot bridge the modem.
So where do you end up.
The reason I am struggling with my Asus DSL-55n modem is that it is just too complex for me to get to grips with and there is little in the way of support documentation from Asus to assist me is overcoming the specific difficulties I have been having.
What issues are they?
I do not particularly like Asus modems.. they are generally poor firmware.. but have you loaded in the latest firmware.. check for updates because they have been improving.
A solution might be the Draytek 120 modem.. it has a neat little trick where you do PPPoE to PPPoA on the modem.. there are a few that can do it but the only readily available now that I know of is the draytek.
There is a mode in the Thomson called PPTP to PPPoA relay.. this also works very well but Apple do not support these more esoteric connections.. it is better used on a third party router.
If it makes any difference at all, my ISP allocates me a static external IP address which I have paid for and is automatically pushed to whatever router I seem to use.
It is only significant if the authentication method is IPOA .. where you use the IP as static on the router and have no authentication.. but static IP for PPPOA simply means your public IP doesn't change.. useful and helpful but not a solution to this problem.

Look at the setup for pppoa bridge.

Cisco RV016 2.0.18 firmware VPN timeouts

Hi i have a RV016 with older firmware that when connected to a cisco 1841 via ipsec the cisco tunnel times out and protocol goes down. Im able to pass traffic for about one minute each time its up then goes down. The only way to bring it back up is to initiate the connection on the RV016 or do a shut/no shut on the tunnel interface on the 1841.
I notice that older version of firmware is not even being offered anymore and version 3.0.x fixes a few vpn issues but the release notes dont go into it much.
thanks, Paul

Hello Thomas,
In my case, it was pfSense Linux firewall connected to the WRVS4400N...
We changed the ISP modem during the troubleshooting and as a result, the tunnel was always up at both sides. In both modems (the original modem and the new one) we used PPPoE (bridge mode) so there was no reason to have a problem with the first one...
Unfortunately, with the new modem we got another problem:
- If I try to connect from the pfSense network to the WRVS4400N network I have access all the time
- If I try to connect from the WRVS4400N network to the pfSense network I am getting "Request timed out". If I do PING x.x.x.x -t for a minute I am getting a reply and the connection works fine. As soon as I stop using the tunnel for more then 5 minutes, the WRVS4400N shows that the tunnel is up but the ping shows again "Request timed out".
As a final solution, we replaced the WRVS4400N with RV-042 and now it works fine at both sides all the time...
So... Sorry but I am done with the WRVS4400N. Do not have time for it.

PPPOA Bridge?
