Hi frickebrett,
Kindly try the following below:
1. Connect your main PC directly to the Motorola SB6141 then check if you can access the internet. If ever you can go online proceed to the next step.
2. Connect the Motorola SB6141 to the WAN port of the FVS318Gv2. Then connect the main PC to any LAN port of the FVS318Gv2.
3. Access the web-GUI of the FVS318Gv2.
4. Go to Network Configuration > WAN Settings > WAN Mode, select NAT instead of Classical Routing then click Apply.
5. Go to Network Configuration > WAN Settings > Broadband ISP Settings, set the following below then click Apply:
a. Select No on "Does Your Internet Connection Require a Login?"
b. Select PPPoE on "Which type of ISP connection do you use?"
c. On the Internet Address portion, select "Get Dynamically from ISP."
d. On the Domain Name Server portion, select "Get Automatically from ISP."
6. Go to Network Configuration > WAN Settings > Broadband ISP Settings. Click Advanced on the upper right portion.
7. On the Router's MAC Address portion, select "Use this computer's MAC Address then click Apply.
8. Check if you can access the internet. If ever you are not yet able to go online, do the following:
a. Turn off the Motorola SB6141 and the FVS318Gv2. Make sure both are fully turned off.
b. Turn on the Motorola SB6141 first. Wait for it to initialize.
c. After the Motorola SB6141 has initialized, turn on the FVS318Gv2.
d. Wait for the WAN port LED of the FVS38Gv2 to turn green then check if you can access the internet through the FVS318Gv2.
Let us know the results.

So, I attempted again today. I connected the FVS318Gv2 to my Motorola SB6141. DHCP was working as ip addresses were being assigned, but there was no connectivity to the Internet. I decided to factory reset all my gear. This is where things broke. I reset the FVS318Gv2 and now I can't even hit 192.168.1.1. I have no idea why I can't connect to the Internet. I was using classic routing and only the one VLAN.

Hi frickebrett,
I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to perform the steps I have provided? If yes, what are your observations?

I have not had the chance to try any of this yet. I'm hoping this weekend will allow it.
