Would you mind sharing what the ISP is?
This link seems to indicate that IPOE is commonly used by cable companies, which means you answer "No" to the question "Do you have to log in?" and the connection is automatic.

Lots of people have mentioned Centurylink fiber. What happens when you go through the setup and just answer
"Does your internet require a login" - No.
Internet IP address
"Get Dynamically from ISP"
??

I'll have to check, but by default, orbi "does ISP require login" is disabled by default, I'd have to check for the other...My ISP said I cant use PPOE, I would have to use IPOE or DHCP... By default, my protocol is IPOE. Just trying to figure out how to config orbi for IPOE.
