Try removing the Service name "IINET".

@biggsy did that before. no luck

See the log file above.
Search for that one moment where everything goes well : "bri-apt-wic-bras207".
pfSense sends always the same data, but the connection doesn't come up often.
And if it comes up, and 'identification' works out well (so : all local settings are ok !!) then connection is dropped right after tat moment.Way back, their was the hard core PPPOE connect method :
Shut down everything.
Start the modem - and wait for at least 5 minutes.
Now start pfSense.
If that doesn't work.
Shut down everything.
Wait for 24 houres (I know ... it's just a test)
Now start modem and wait at least 5 minutes.
Start pfSense.The thing that bothers that : why some other device can connect ?
And did you test this : your PC can also do 'PPPoE' : select that type of connection, connect the PC to the modem, and check if it connects. -
Were you able to get a connection log from either of the other devices that can connect?

@gertjan Hi Steve. Sorry for delay.
Was trying to get a fresh perspective on all of the issues.
I have done what you suggested above. no change except the log files shrank to up and down mostly :) over and over again.
I even tried spoofing the mac address on the Wan interface and no luck
If I change it from PPPOE to DHCP, I get a green Wan interface immediately with 0.0.0.0 as an IP. obviously because there is no authentication happening there.
I am not sure what else to try here.
Fresh installs, changes, guides, forums, I am stumped.
Why is it so difficult., When the USG PRO just works -
@gerryatric said in PPPOE wan will not connect -:
When the USG PRO just works
Can you get by any chance from the USG a connect log that shows how the USG makes the connection? That might be helpful.

Then I repeat :

Or this one :

Check the ppp logs in the ER or any other router that does connect.
For example :
-
I just found something over on Whirlpool that suggests setting an MTU of 1500 and disabling VJ compression (Interfaces > PPPs > Edit, Advanced Options).
The poster then edited to say an MTU of 1500 was enough.
-
Mmm, easy test at least.
-
@biggsy Hi
Same issue. that didn't do anything either sadly -
@gerryatric The MTU setting on my Wan port on the USG is 1440
Apparently it needed to be lower to get the speed up.
When I first connected I had 1492 in .
I couldn't get above 200mbps.
So I rang IINEt and to get Ultrafast speed on fibre, you need to lower the MTU. They gave me a couple numbers and 1440 worked the best. -
The MTU when using pppoe, in the inside, can never be 1500.
Classic pppoe is 1472 or something close to that.
Yours is encapsed in a VLAN, so even less ?
Dono what an MRU is.Btw : you can determine what the best value is :
ping with a given packet size (the default is 60 bytes so it always passes) - and check the answers for 'fragmentation'.
Repeat the test, start at 1400, and add 4 on every next test.
As soon as 'fragmented comes back, you found your MTU value.
There are many how-to available on the net.This test needs a working connection, of course.
-
@gertjan yep I did that with IINEt when setting up the USG, we deduced that 1440 was the best settings with the ping.
That still doesn't explain why it won't connect though. -
In your earlier logs, just after the ntp lines @Gertjan referenced, there is this sequence:

Not something I'd expect iiNet to set.
Could that be one of your home subnets?
Edit: Or are you perhaps running a PPPoE server on your USG or ER?

@biggsy Hi Phil
I have no idea where that is coming from. It isn't there immediately.
I have no gear on the local lan producing a 10.20.26.0 range at all
I am running ZeroTier SD Wan software on some of my nodes but that is machine dependent. must have a client installed. and it is not in that range anyway.
I do not know where that is coming from -
I think we need to find what's handing out that RFC1918 address. That looks like it's totally confusing PPPoE on your WAN.
Maybe a port mirror on the SR2024 and packet capture would tell us. I can't help with the Cisco stuff, unfortunately.Maybe not. Seems the SR2024 is unmanaged.
-
@biggsy yes it is just an unmanaged switch used to split the nbn signal is all. has the usg and the edgerouter connected to it
-
Having a private IP as the gateway for PPPoE is not that unusual and works fine. Both of mine are like that. Is that public IP in a range you expect?
I still find it odd that you are able to connect more that one client at a time though. Especially in a setup where it appears the password is not checked.

Agree
Would suggest connecting just one pfsense client as a test.
