18.1 Legacy Series / Re: pppoe password

« on: March 31, 2018, 03:26:12 pm »

I will try to attach a screenshot of the page that caused me the problem. However, I contacted BT first and they said to try either bt or BT. I tried bt first and that appeared to connect, giving me an address on the wan interface in the 172.20 range. The test would still not run, after I unticked the relevant box in wan interface settings.
Around the same time I was contemplating trying mobile broadband and this is now what I intend to do.
My BT down was 18Mb and 1Mb in the up.
My tests with the mobile broadband were 69Mb Down and 21Mb Up. As a result, I have decided not to waste any more time and get the mobile broadband setup. I'm still under contract with BT for about 6 weeks, so perhaps I can try a multi wan config. On the other hand I might just go and clear the crap out of my garage 

Thanks for the replies folks. Its good to see an active community here.

18.1 Legacy Series / pppoe password

« on: March 29, 2018, 09:49:18 pm »

Just been running opnsense 18.1.4-amd64 for a few weeks, so this is pretty new to me.

Had been having some speed issues ( not opnsense related ) and had gone to the BT wholesale speedchecker @ http://www.speedtest.btwholesale.com/
As some issues were identified, it requested that if I wanted to do further testing, I would have to change my connection point temporarily, in order to run the tests.
However, when I went to change my pppoe settings, opnsense insists on a password being entered. As no password is required for the BT connection I could not proceed.
Anything I can do ?
