Trouble connecting to PPoE WAN

[meyergru]

Yes, the WAN IP as well as the default gateway are on Plusnet. However, neither is reachable from here as well. This looks like a new development area where connectivity is not yet established.

On the other hand, if it works with an Asus router... I would check what WAN IP and default gateway you get with the Asus router. But heck, ask your ISP what is wrong there. Obviously, they give your the PPPoE credentials, so they must be able to deal with a different router.

What else is routed to lo0? Have you clicked on that large "Expand" button, yet?

But to get the real and complete picture, please post the output of these two commands:

ifconfig
netstat -rn

I can't reach the remote WAN IP 195.166.130.255 but I can reach the local WAN IP 80.229.251.220 (which is my public static IP address). The Asus router doesn't show the default gateway in it's UI, but would the gateway be the remote IP address 195.166.130.255 which shows up in it's logs?

It does not need to be, the gateway you are given can also further away than your counterpart. IDK how / if the Asus router shows its gateway.
