Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.0 Build 20200930 Rel.36519

Dear Tplink Team.

 

I have a Tplink AX11000 which is connected to the internet via PPPoE (fiber). I have bought an TL-R605 and have been trying to connect the WAN port via the AX11000 Lan port to the internet but have not succeded. I want to use the TL-R605 to connect my apple tv to a commercial vpn provider called vpn express and i have tried both pptp and l2tp protocols directly via the WAN setup section but have not been able to get it work. I have also tried Dynamic IP setting in the WAN section hoping that it would automatically get an ip from the AX11000 router thinking maybe i could use the pptp or l2tp client option under the vpn server section as well but also did not work. Any suggestions. What am i missing here?

 

PS ; I can connect via PPTP option on the AX11000 without any problems to ExpressVPn so i know its not a connection issue on the commercial vpn service provider side.Also all of the vpn passthrough are active 'n the AX11000

Dear @Caprioles9000, @Bushyhead,

 

I have a Tplink AX11000 which is connected to the internet via PPPoE (fiber). I have bought an TL-R605 and have been trying to connect the WAN port via the AX11000 Lan port to the internet but have not succeded.

 

To figure out the problem, please try unplugging the TL-R605 router, connect a PC instead to the AX11000 LAN port and ping an external address like www.google.com on the PC. Then upload an image of the ping test results for checking.

 

Thank you for your kind cooperation and patience. Looking forward to your reply.

@Caprioles9000 

I know this was many months ago but could find nothing else to help me.  I have just bought ER605 and had same problem in that it wouldn't connect.  After many attempts to connect to PPoE and getting PADI timeout error, I did a factory reset, entered the PPoE user info again and it connected straight away.

 

Bit odd as unit is brand new and all I had done was try to connect to my ISP so would expect it to be at the factory default setting. 

 

Factory reset seems to be the answer here.

Dear @Rushreyes,

 With the ER605 router powered on, use a pin to press and hold the reset hole on its front panel for about 8 seconds.
