Problem Setting up New Router

[Dakota2]

Hello,

I have the Vodafone Wifi 6 router currently, but would like to use a new router I have purchased. I set the Vodafone router to bridge mode (on Vodafone.de), however, the Vodafone router does not give the new router a public IP address, therefore, giving me no Internet access. 

I am not 100% sure what the issue is, but I have a few ideas, but I was hoping someone could help. My two ideas are:

1) MAC Address Caching: I would either need to spoof the IP address of the old router or have Vodafone reset the cache.

2) PPPoE: I need to setup PPPoE server on my new router, so I would need the Vodafone credentials.

There may be another issue here that I am unaware of, any help would be greatly appreciated!

set WAN port of your own router to DHCP and connect to LAN1 of Vodafone Station

do not connect any other devices to Vodafone Station

power cycle Vodafone Station

I did that about a week ago and let it set for about 5 hours and it never worked. I just did it today and it worked. Very strange. Thank you for your help!

Then I close the thread.
