RV180 router will not connect to ISP using PPPoE

[Roncarlson10]

I had the same problem.  The RV180W would not connect to an AT&T DSL connection using PPPoE (modem in bridge mode), or behind the DSL Modem/router with the DSL modem/router providing a dynamic IP to the RV180W or a cable modem (TimeWarner Roadrunner dynamic IP).  I upgraded the firmware yesterday and now the RV180W will connect to a dynamic WAN IP, but it still will not connect using PPPoE.

I have also noticed the admin interface is only accessible about 75% of the time.  When going to 192.168.1.1 the login prompts either don't come up or if they do, after logging in, the screen never fully loads after that.  I have to reboot the router to get it to work.

Also, the router has not yet pulled DNS from either the DSL or the cable modem.  I had to manually enter those addresses.

Any suggestions on the PPPoE issue?  Any thoughts as to why the admin interface is not always accessible or the DNS?

Thank you,

Ron
