Hey,

I’ve been trying to set up a home network using Unifi devices, but this thing is really testing my patience.

I configured the TP-Link under Advanced > Internet with a single connection in Bridge mode using VLAN 7. When I connect my laptop directly to LAN1, the internet works fine. After that, I disabled DHCP, so as far as I know, it’s running as a pure modem.

Then I connected the Unifi and tried setting up the PPPoE connection—both with and without the VLAN setting—but no luck.

So, my question is: has anyone successfully gotten these two to work together flawlessly? Or at least the TPLink as a true modem?

Thanks!

Moin Moin,

normally the modem should set only VPI/VCI. Nothing else!

The rest should be done by the unifi. VLAN and PPP authentication.

Live long and prosper 🖖

Thanks! The only thing you can really do with this device is put it into Bridge mode. Strangely, the DHCP and Wi-Fi stay on, so you have to switch them off manually. In Bridge mode, you can set the VLAN ID, but there are no other options — or maybe I’m just not smart enough. :D

Honestly, this is my first time messing around with ADSL/VDSL; back home I mostly used cable services, which are way easier to maintain.

By any chance, do you know exactly where I can find the options you mentioned?

Yeah, this is getting redundant. I’m just gonna buy a DrayTek instead — I’m fed up with this project. :)

Thanks anyways! :)

Hello @npc183,

could you give it another try with the TP-Link after schluej comment or are you going to try with a Dray Tek router?

Best Regards,

Gerrit

Hey Gerrit,

I got a DrayTek 165 and had it up and running in just 5 minutes.
I’m not exactly clueless when it comes to networks, but the TP-Link really drove me crazy!

Thanks again for your help!

Cheers,
A
