TP-Link Archer C6 PPOE issue with BSNL FTTH

[Kick933]

I have just received the much awaited C6 from Amazon.
But it got a wired issue.
I have set the dumb ONT into transparent bridge mode and router usually work great after setting up my BSNL FTTH profile.

But,as soon as their is a LOS,the C6 won't initiate auto-connect.I have to go to the management page and click on connect.
It seems that I am missing something.Can I hope to get some help as it has got very frustrating since signal drop is common at my place,albeit for 2 minutes every 5 hours.

Ok,so the issue is back again and I am not the only one to face it.I searched the web and lot of people have complained about the same.
Weird fact is that none of the other forum members stumbled upon this issue except me with C6.Maybe,it is time to use that dumb ONT as router and archer c6 as AP for few days.
The issue is PPOE timeout,
Main takeaway from system log-:
ppoe send PADI Host-Uniq(7025)
ppoe send PADT due to (for last session)

The same is working with each and every other router I have tested including few Chinese generic WiFi router.They sets up connection in few seconds but C6 won't connect even after manual intervention for hours. It's getting frustrating.

Looks like there is some bug in the PPPoE implementation on the C6. You could try moving to OpenWRT, although there's only the snapshot version available for US variants of the C6 at the moment.

You'd have to wait for OpenWRT 20.xx to release to have mainstream support.

Wait,I am not so familiar with openwrt but I would like to try it if it does not mess basic things and solved the bug.Kimdly elaborate.....

Could you share the full log for ppp.

That is the only thing that repeat.
It means that the ppoe discovery is failing and the ISP side got some issue,but the same is working if I use my ONT as router

@Kick933 It's better you email the issue to TP-Link customer care.

Im using my c6 with Syrotech ont in bridge mode and i don't have such problem. May be a faulty router you've got

It voids the warranty i think.
And too many options. Kind of messy.
Better avoid imo.
