I have a wired problem. My Prospero modem is connected to WAN NetGear port. LAN1 on netgear is connected to my PC NIC. I'm unable to call out any PPPOE sessions from inside widnows. They used to work just fine when I only had the Prospero modem.
Netgears internal PPPOE protocol connects to the internet just fine so everything seems to be setup right.
Is calling PPPOE session out of Windows 7 not possible anymore when this router is in the middle of Prospero and PC?
I'm not sure if the original firmware has pppoe-passthru (pppoe-relay). For DD-WRT you need the optware package pppoe-relay, it is also not included in dd-wrts official images
Since Im new to this can I add this pppoe relay to your Firmware and it should work? How do you Install that anyway as I will need updxy for IPTV also.
I also got some other info now that it could possible solved this with another UTP cable which connects Prosperos Internet port 2 to Routers LAN port 2. That is a hardware bridge right?
I will try that tomorrow also but it sounds logical.
Just wondering but does this actually hit the CPU of the router? Cuz I'm planning to push about 100/100MBit with 5x PPPOE through it. Or Should I still better totally bypass the router for this computer?
Alright. I have now updated to netgear latest official firmware to see if it breaks.
Now Since I want your mod. Are this the steps?
1. Uploading DD-WRT for WNR3500L v24 K2.6 svn14289 Mini (CHK) BETA within netgears original firmware.
2. Uploading DD-WRT BETA Kong Mod USB/FTP/miniDLNA/Samba3 for NETGEAR WNR3500L
thats it? During step 1 and 2. Do I have to do anything at all? Like changig IPs back to default 10.x.x.x or hard reset, poweroff, default restore?
What exactly is this 30/30/30 people are talking about?
pppoe-relay is an optware package. For that you need a usb device with at least one partition mounted to /opt. Once this is setup you can use a tool called ipkg to search and install external packages to your usb device.
pppoe-relay should not consume a lot of cpu since the router does not work with the packages anymore and is just used as a switch. But 500MBit is a lot for a "low" budget router. If you expect lots of traffic, then I would use a proffessional switch.
As for udpxy, not sure if you need it dd-wrt supports multicast routing, but I have no experience with that, you can asked in dd-wrt forum how to configure/activate it.
Yes, step 1 and 2.
The 30/30/30 reset:
if you need to store any data on the router, for example auth data, the system will store this info inside the routers flash->nvram
If the router is to be reset, you need to clear out all stored settings in nvram
A 30/30/30 is used to trigger such a reset, as for the wnr3500l you actually don't need 30/30/30, here it works if you just poweroff then press the reset button power on and still hold it 30s, after that all data is erased and will be filled with the firmwares defaults.
Why is the reset recommended but not always needed. Some apps like ttraff store statistics etc in nvram, nvram has a limited size, once the flash is full you get into trouble if you install another firmware that has new value=data pairs to store, it can't store them and then fails at some stage.
I never done that kind of reset when I went from old to newer netgear firmware. Do I need it now when going from netgear to the mini dd-wrt? Or is this only needed once dd-wrt is already on the router?
I have telneted in, installed ipgk but pppoe-relay i cant find in the list.
For a PPPoE Passthrough on DD-WRT, enable jffs2(Administration/management tab) and do the following steps in a terminal:
cd /jffs
wget http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/8.09.2/brcm47xx/packages/rp-pppoe-relay_3.10...
tar zxf rp-pppoe-relay_3.10-1_mipsel.ipk
tar zxf data.tar.gz
scp /jffs/usr/sbin/pppoe-relay /jffs/
go to administration tab of ddwrt gui, commands tab and paste this:
/jffs/pppoe-relay -C br0 -S vlan2
save startup
thx for the info but I decided to totally bypass the router for this. So I went for a second NICs since I wasnt getting good speeds when it was bridged so I certainly wouldnt get good speed with a pppoe relay.
No problem, I actually stumbled on your question while looking for the answer myself. I thought id share the knowledge once i found the solution :D
