XR500 PPOE Bug
Might have found a bug on setup with the latest firmware it detects my connection as ppoe which it is however it leaves it as dial on demand and I have no internet until I change it to always on.

- Thanks for the heads up, will let the dev team know
- would be good if there was an option the re run the speedtest without going through setup too
I belive its meant to be this way even when detected as PPPoE as seen here, which explains the options in more detail. https://kb.netgear.com/20305/Manual-Configuration-of-a-Router-for-DSL-Internet-Service-with-a-Bridged-Modem-PPPoE
- Maybe but on the XR500 the speedtest fails as it sets my connection to dial on demand then you have to re run the setup again to get a speedtest which is why it would be a good option to add a speedtest option without having to run setup again.
- You don't need to redo the setup just for a speed test. Can go to speed test manually and input the results into Anti-Bufferbloat. We do want to add the option though.
