ER7212PC Omada Cloud access is Disconnected if use PPPoE on WAN port

My network included an Huawei HG8247h ONT and ER7212PC
1. HG8247h ONT in Router mode
Everything works fine when HG8247h working in Router mode , and DHCP server on LAN side.
The WAN port of ER7212PC get IP with Dynamic IP.
In this case Cloud access is connected. (I bind it in this phase), and the button "Check for update" under "Integrated Router Firmware" function is working. Able to reach TP-link server for checking version. Everything works fine.
2. HG8247h ONT in Modem mode
HG8247h working in Modem mode , and WAN port of ER7212PC use PPPoE connection on WAN port
In this case Cloud access is Disconnected, and the button "Check for update" under "Integrated Router Firmware" function is NOT working. Not able to reach TP-link server for checking version.
I have internet, WAN status is Online, I can see everything working on my local Omada controller, only the cloud access and FW update seems to be disabled for unknown reason.
FTTH HG8247h ONT (10.0.0.1 a PPPoE gateway,modem)
ER7212PC WAN with PPPoE=176.241.44.208 LAN static 192.168.100.1 (ER7212PC DHCP for LAN 192.168.100.10 - 192.168.100.254)
Please help to find the reason.
I not understand.

Dear Support team ,
Thank you your support and quick job of R&D team. It it is working now. My ER7212PC is online in the cloud, with PPPoE connection via ONT what is in modem mode .
Who had the same problem can expect the next FW will solve the problem. I don't know when it will be.
I am happy.

For me, the PPPoE connection works without a problem on the ER605 router. I cannot connect to the Internet on the ER7212PC router. The modem in the router does not work. WAN status offline. Dynamic IP mode works, PPPoE mode cannot connect. Tried different WAN's and still the same. I have the latest software.

@peter021 My 7212 didn't run into these problem, also used PPPoE.
Is it related to your Huawei router? Or maybe, it's gonna take a while to show up?

@HelsingL Huawei has Optical Network Terminal (ONT) function, I cannot eliminate it.
I only can ask internet provider to change the function of it between Modem or Router.
In Router mode everything fine as I wrote. But i do not want two Router behind each other. After ISP changed to modem mode 7212 cannot connect to the cloud .This error persists . But I have internet.

Unfortunately, the new firmware does not provide a solution to the problem. I was hoping for.
ER7212PC(UN)_V1_1.0.2 Build 20230202
