Hi,

I use a Linksys WRT 610Nv1, and have used DD-WRT for close to a year.

Like others have reported: When I install any build after 15506, I can not activate PPPoE.

The procedure to replay the problem is simple:

- Reset the router to factory defaults.
- Open the Web-GUI.
- Enter a new password by the instructions of the dialog.
- Go to "Setup/Basic setup", choose "PPPoE" and enter a password and a username, click save.

- The unit will not be accessible any more.
- Windows will report the networkconnection as unavailable/available in a loop.
- It is no longer possible to get a DHCP-lease.
- Resetting the router will not change this.
- The router's GUI is accessible after a factory reset by pressing the reset button while powering it on.

This thread addresses phuzion's request to discuss this in a seperate thread instead of the 16243-thread. He supposes that it is caused by the VLAN-code introduced shortly after 15506.

http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/ticket/1947 addresses this problem on a WRT 610Nv1

http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/ticket/1878 is about a Belkin with the same issue

If it is related to VLAN-issues, the following ticket might be related:

http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/ticket/1930 on an Asus RT-N16

After a fresh hard reset telnet to the router and get the output from these commands.

nvram show | grep vlan.ports
nvram show | grep port.vlans
nvram show | grep vlan.hwname

Then try to set the WAN type to PPPoE, do not change any other settings like the PPPoE login info, click apply. Make sure that you lose your wired connection to the router and then check if you can access the router via wireless.

I also have a WRT610N v1 and experiencing the same exact problem you are describing. This happens on the K26 version that I tried. These are the two that I tried and I confirm the issue you're having.

dd-wrt.v24-15452_NEWD-2_K2.6_big.bin
dd-wrt.v24-15453_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega.bin

I don't want to step on toes.. However, K24 builds run on the 610 V1. Run a K24 build, your problems will vanish!

I see no advantage of K26 over K24 if your router supports K24.

K26 needs a bit of work.

My values from the grep:

new_vlan2ports=0 8

port5vlans=1 2 16
port3vlans=1
port1vlans=1
port4vlans=1
port2vlans=1
port0vlans=2
size: 27861 bytes (4907 left)
root@DD-WRT:~# nvram show | grep vlan.hwname
new_vlan1hwname=et0
vlan2hwname=et0
vlan1hwname=et0
new_vlan2hwname=et0
size: 27951 bytes (4817 left)
root@DD-WRT:~#
---

When I set the router to pppoe and don't enter a username, the device will continue to function for some seconds, then it becomes inaccessible. I can not connect via LAN, Wi-Fi, neither with telnet nor with a browser.

Both wi-fi radios will disappear entirely, so it's not possible to connect to them, neither on 2.4 or 5 GHz.

As soon as I 30-30-30 the device, both radios reappear, telnet is accessible and the browser as well. However, I have no pppoe.

Try saving the script below to your startup script on the admin->commands page, then set the wan type to PPPoE, apply, and reboot the router. After it reboots check if it is accessible again.

echo "1 2 3 4 8*" >/proc/switch/eth0/vlan/1/ports
echo "0 8" >/proc/switch/eth0/vlan/2/ports

I proceeded in the following way:

1.) Reset the router to factory settings, reboot
2.) Flash the new build - file as mentioned above
3.) Logon, password change
4.) I pasted your lines into the management/command windows and clicked "save startup".
5.) Reboot, logon and verified the script.
6.) Switch the gateway mode to "PPPoE" without entering data into the user and password-field.
7.) Save followed by Apply

While I did all this, I had a seperate window open with a ping -n 192.168.1.1

When I saved the "PPPoE"-option, the pings were lost about 10s later.

When I power-cycle the router, the pings will be answered for 2-5s, the the following lines will be either "package timed out" or "no route to host". I waited for about 15minutes, then I turned the router off and on again, there was no change: a couple of successful pings, then "no route to host" or time-outs.

Wi-Fi did not reappear at all, there was no network "dd-wrt" at all.

Best regards,

Detlev

So I just tested my wrt300n v1.1 with k2.6 16436 after more users reported the problem and it became totally inaccessible unlike my wrt320n or TSS3000's RT-N16. The serial log shows many errors after switch-robo is loaded.

Serial logs from anyone else that can reproduce it would be helpful.

If you can direct me to a site with suiting cables - e.g. Dealextreme.com or the likes - I would be glad to try this.

Most people get a CA-42 or DKU5 clone on ebay for a couple bucks.

Try the k2.6 test build that Eko posted and follow my directions for testing it.
