But i couldn't find anything like this. Does my router even have that function and compatible with MS-CHAPv2?
The JWNR2000v2 is an old (2011 and based on a 2009 model) that was never that sophisticated.
This seems to be more likely to be a modem level setting. And LTE modems at that.
A quick search of Netgear's manuals suggest that "CHAP" is for network hardware, such as switches, or LTE Modems.
And the LBR20 4G LTE WiFi Orbi Router and WBC502 are two of three devices that even mention MS-CHAP.
Which ISP is this?
It is local ISP i think they provide internet services for my city only and somewhere around it. (Mark-ITT if you really want to know)
Well it is time to buy a new router i guess.

Netgear doesn't seem to make any that support that strange requirement.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are rare. So you might need to ask the ISP which hardware will work on its network.
