(Solved) Authentication failed in TP Link Archer C6 wih Netlink HG323RGW

[Adithya]

I've been looking through all TP-Link related posts on this forum, I tried them all.

Attempt 1: Bridge mode: No mac clone

It's able to reach the pppoe server but fails at authentication PPPOE: RX AUTH...NAK

Attempt 2: Bridge mode on Ont, ppoe and mac clone on router
It can't even reach the pppoe server just stuck in discovering.

Checked the password and username they're the same but only works on ont.

I don't think there is mac binding going on, the EPON status page always showed Registered, mot authenticated. Any ideas guys?

Yes, MAC is bound. I know because I had to clone my pfsense WAN MAC to Mikrotik to get it to authenticate.

This is how it's going now

If I clone mac it won't even reach the pppoe server. Gets stuck doing TX PADI. So I don't know where the binding is if there is one, on the olt or bsnl.

 

[Adithya]

Ok so I tested with bbtest and it connected over pppoe. Definitely not on the olt, it's on bsnl's side.

 

[WieldyBinkie]

So, it works on TP-Link now?

 

[Adithya]

The test account bbtest/bsnlmp works on the TP-Link but not with my account's login credentials. I've asked my LCO for a mac release, fingers crossed.

 

[sloj]

Which MAC address did you copy?

 

[Adithya]

@sloj The one from the wan section, not the ont's mac. It was the same shown on selfcare.

 

[sloj]

Should have worked then. When they introduced binding my USB ethernet stick MAC address was bound to my account since I was using it at the time. Now I use a different USB ethernet stick and copied the MAC address from the first one and things are still working. My guess is some bug in TP-Link routers. A reset/release will fix that.

 

[Adithya]

Did you mean a reset on the router or from the lco or bsnl's side?
