Hi David - thanks for your assistance - I did message a moderator and ended up switching to FTTP - hopefully this will simplify my network needs (once activated)! Thanks again for your persistence.

Here's the basic network overview. With the NEST plugged in (to [yellow] LAN1 on the TPLINK) - the LAN1 light is illuminated.

Hi David - thanks for your persistence! here are some screenshots of my process. Bare with! 1.) This is the Router working - as a Router. Note the two additional WAN Interfaces – I’ve not created (ipoe_ptm_novlan and pppoe_ptm_0_0_d) 2.) All WAN connections deleted 3.) Add a new connection - selecting VLAN ID=2 and Type=Bridge 4.) Bridge connection saved 5.) after rebooting the router, I'm back to these two additional WAN Connections - both remain disconnected. 6.) Note my internet status is this chain icon (the DSL light is solid green) 7.) Removing the two automatically created WAN connections (shown in image 5) - I get a little further with the Google Nest. On configuring this - I am prompted for a connection type - I select PPPoE and enter my username/password - It then fails with "Configuring PPPoE failed. Please note that VLAN ID tagging is not supported. 8.) to confirm - my WAN Connection remain as is - i.e in Bridge mode.

Ok… I’m getting somewhere. I’ve noticed, when adding the Bridge Internet connection to the Archer - it actually creates two other WAN interface entries - both remain disconnected but deleting these and attempting to connect the Google Nest - I get a step closer! I now see an option during the Google Nest setup to select PPPoE - I do this, enter my TPG username/password (which I know to be correct), hit save and get the following error: Configuring PPPoE failed. Please note that VLAN ID tagging is not supported. Any further suggestions?

Hi, When the TpLink is in Bridge mode - the DSL light is illuminated. (It flashes for a while then goes solid green) With the Google Nest plugged into LAN on the TpLink (WAN) on google nest - the LAN light is illuminated on the TpLink. Nb. I have edited this post to correctly describe the DSL light - I thought this didn’t come in but retested and intact, it does come in when in bridge mode - is this correct?

Thecheffer · ‎22-04-2024

HI David, I've done all of this - i've restarted TPLink and Google Nest router. Kept the Google Nest Router unplugged (from ethernet) until the configuration process explictily tells me to connect it. Still the same. I think the crux of my issue is the Google router config is not allowing me to enter my PPPoE information - it's assuming it's a standard wired interenet and I cant seem to navigate that.

Thanks David - I’m pretty sure I’ve followed this. Have put the archer into bridge mode (VID=2 as per my original pppoe entry). I think the issue is with the google nest not wanting to authenticate an internet connection during setup. At no point does it ask what type of connection or for a pppoe username/password.

Hi David, I just want to start accessing a couple of devices over the internet - I’ll have a VPN etc. to secure this. I’ve got FTTN and my Archer firmware is 0.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 220518 Rel.32480n Thanks - any help is appreciated.

i've had these two routers set-up for some time - without issue -, i am now however, looking to share an IP/Port over the internet so have hit double NAT issues... I'm trying to switch my TPG supplied Archer VR1600 into Bridge mode and have my Google Nest be my sole Router/Network device. Getting the Arche 1600 into Bridge mode is nice an simple - i've done that - but i'm having trouble with the Google Nest. I know this is a TPG forum but it seems there are some sensible replies to other posts - so i thought i'd try here. During configuration of the Google Nest router - im prompted to plug in the Ethernet cable - which I do - and hit next - I then get connection failed. Not suprising, as i've not told the Google Nest to use PPPoE. It seems i'm stuck with the Google Nest 'expecting' the internet but I have no way to tell it to use PPPoE. I've tried reconfiguraing teh connection in situ (i.e the Archer is logged into PPPoE) but again, I cant seem to updated the PPPoE information without the Google Nest being connected to the internet either - so it's catch 22. Any suggestions / guides / experience?? Thanks.
