Nighthawk R6700v3 PPPoE setup for Fidium fiber?
I have new Fidium service but opted to use my Netgear Nighthawk R6700v3 router instead of their router which I understand is pretty locked down. Problem is I can't seem to get internet working over Wifi or Ethernet. I have my PPPoE credentials and the routers says internet service is good but all of the switches > PC's and wireless devices cannot access the internet. We're moving over from Xfinity using a cable modem so maybe there is some setting from that setup I need to clear? Maybe I need the most recent firmware(I am actually using a older version on purpose with Xfinity since a new version, at the time, degraded performance.)

Supposedly authentication happens with PPPoE. They are switching over to MAC and serial in the near future.

Can they move the PPPoE to the ONT and then let the NG router use DHCP?
