    Well I finally got it to work. 

    They've made such a F***fest out of the internet here in Australia. 

     

    What I had to do was put the MAC adress as the router ones. So manually put that in. 

    Set it to PPoE. Put in your Account name. No passwords.

    Connection mode is 'always on'.

    Put the settings for IP adress as 'Dynamic Ask from prodiver'. 

    Adress domainserver is 'Ask automatically from Provider'.

     

    And here's the trick what it was all about. 

    Go to advanced settings. 

    Go to VLAN/Bridge settings. 

    Check the box of VLAN Tags. 

    and depending on your internet provider you have to set the Vlan ID and the Priority.

    In my case with Internode is was VLAN tag to 2. and Priority to 0. 

    It didn't work because my Internet Provider told me to put Priority on 2. 

    So do all that. Unplug the power from your Router and Modem. Do a Power Cycle. Not a Reset. That worked for me. Hopefully it could help someone else. Cheers!
