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.

@!!..PD..!!

Mine is 10 seconds as well, it didn't help.

Although I found this, it's not actually los. I can still make calls, voip still is connected. Voip profile is on the ont. It seems like something on bsnl's pppoe server is rejecting archer after a while.

This is the log that keeps on repeating after I lose pppoe.

I thought it was LOS, but the pppoe server is rejecting archer until I restart it.

 

[!!..PD..!!]

It happens to me rarely but i think it does connect within 2 mins after multiple rejections.

It happened around 1st/2nd Jan for me and it was some issue from bsnl side which i confirmed from jto as it took like multiple hours on that perticular day.

Since then I have noticed it 2-3 times max but it does connect automatically after multiple attempts by my router and takes maximum of 2 minutes.

How long have you waited for this to work?

Now it's been 6 hours almost. My god it's rejecting me even after restart, I have a sneaking suspicion that they've again binded to my ont's mac. I am going to check if I can connect from my ont.

Edit: Nope can't connect from ont as well, seems like an issue on BSNL's side.

 

[!!..PD..!!]

Good luck with it. If it is mac bound then get it removed or something

@!!..PD..!! It got fixed. Here's what I did
From the archer I tried logging in with bbtest/bsnlmp and it conncted to the test account.
Then tried again with my pppoe credentials and it authenticated succesfully.

Weird but certainly a bug on their pppoe servers. Maybe they're moving things around and some old configs got stale or something.
