Model : Archer C7

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : Archer_D7_V1_150514

ISP : Orange (Optic Fiber)


Hi,

Sorry that the "Model Number" is wrong, but there's no "Archer D7" option.
I'm trying to use my Archer D7 AC1750 as a Modem+Router for an optic fiber internet connection.
Having properly connected the ONT to the LAN4/WAN port, I tried adding a PPPoE wan connection (as it is required by my ISP).
To my surprise, it doesn't even try to connect. Indeed, it only seem to look for the DSL link, sees that there is none (it's not plugged in) and gives up.
How can I make it try on the EWAN port?

I'm pretty sure the EWAN port isn't broken, because configuring the Archer D7 to look for a static IP results in it actually using the EWAN port (although there is no answer, since my ISP doesn't use this method).

Did you set it up from Quick Setup?
Operation Mode is Wireless Router Mode?
Are you sure username and password are correct?
Go to Diagnostic to Test. What does it show?

Thanks, the Operation Mode was the issue. I thought I had switched it to Wireless, but I must have made a mistake somehow because it wasn't (I might not have rebooted it). If anyone is in the same situation as me: when you are in Wireless, the "Network -> WAN Settings" page is called "EWAN Settings".
