Possible Bug Report: PPPoE disables itself on RBR50 V2.3.1.60
I have a problem with the latest V2.3.1.60 on my RBR50! The router's PPPoE connection works fine for hours and then turns itself off, so we end up in Double NAT all over again after some time. ...
Hello! The ISP modem is a Fritzbox 7581, I made sure to enable "Always on".
I updated the Firmware and then did a reset.

I presume the isp modem is in bridge mode when your setting up the Orbo to handle PPPoE?
Can you try the ISP modem in router mode then set up the Orbi for standard DHCP and no PPPoE settings? Disable ALL wifi radios on the ISP modem, configure the ISP modems DMZ or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the ISP modem.
- Hello, I am using bridge mode on my Fritzbox, yeah.
I used to have my router behind the isp modem (and router) in normal mode, but the Double NAT caused lots of problems with internet stability and during gaming. My ISP recommended me to use PPPoE.
What should I do now?Can you try the ISP modem in router mode then set up the Orbi for standard DHCP and no PPPoE settings? Disable ALL wifi radios on the ISP modem, configure the ISP modems DMZ or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the ISP modem. DMZ on the modem will help with double NAT issues. You have to use the DMZ on the modem to avoid this.
- DMZ on my Modem does not exist. AVM says it's called exposed host (forwarding all ports). Wouldn't that make it unsafe? I just want to be sure before I do it :)
