Gargoyle Forum

Hello Gents,

Great project. Sadly I have a problem with the WAN port. I am a bit new here, so please excuse me if I'am not so technical.

I have ADSL coming on to ZTE H108N modem-router. I configured it so that I have WAN connection set as bridge to one of the LAN ports, and connected a straight Ethernet cable to the WAN port of my Arch C7 running Gargoyle 1.10.0, with WAN connection set to PPPoE, but no connection! The internet LED on Archer C is on, but the the status page in the GUI shows WAN disconnected, with all fields blank.

I also tried setting the ZTE H108N as router, and setting the Arch C7 wan connection as DHCP, but didn't seem to work either.

I read somewhere that connecting the cable after the router has booted already could solve it, but it didn't solve it.

Unfortunately I haven't tried the WAN port before flashing, but I have no reason to suspect it was faulty.

I have another ASUS RT-AC66U. I just flashed with with Advanced Tomato 3.5-140 and the WAN port worked with the cable coming form the ZTE H108N router-modem (in bridge mode), so this means that the PPPoE is coming to the Archer C7 properly.

Screen shorts are attached.

Thanks
Mo

can you remote host screen shots, thanks

It’s a known problem with that router and upstream Openwrt.
I haven’t checked whether it is solved in 1.11.x, but one user was able to solve it using my instructions in this thread:

Read from that post onwards so you have the context, but might be worth a try.
