    What device are you connecting it to? 

    Did you check with your isp? many people on here use PPPoE without issues

      I am connected straight to the media converter.

      ISP router connects easily, but not the Netgear

      It happen the same thing with the other Netgear router back home in Romania

      no PPPoE

      I will re check the login details again to be sure

        What media converter/gateway are you plugging it into? 

        Have you checked with your ISP? Some require you to use their device. 

        Usually there's a workaround if thats the case but it usually involves a bit of research about your isp/gateway to figure out exactly what steps are needed
