Time to try another router to make better use of the 3gig….

Got my hands on an Asus ROG glow-up pretty-colours dual 10G ports router, but it’s spitting the dummy at me re: WAN connectivity, saying my providers DHCP does not function.

I’ve seen a few posts about mac cloning, and / or about ipv6 being needed, and / or port reprovisioning to get the Asus working.

Has anyone successfully got this nailed?
 
I didn't have to clone the Mac to use my own router but the people that needed to do it had the 3 Gb service so looks like they do apply Mac filtering there. What model is the router?
 
Asus does support MAC Cloning:

https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1045126/

Although it appears the MAC Cloning button is meant to be used to clone some internal MAC address. To fin dout the CF's router MAC address you could do this:

  1. Plug the Asus router and connect one of your computers to it. Make sure you can launch the Web GUI.
  2. Now connect the WAN port of the CF router to one of the Asus router LAN ports. The Asus router should assign it an IP address.
  3. Now check the network map section where it shows all the clients connected to your router and copy the MAC address of the CF router.
  4. Paste the MAC address of the CF router into the MAC address field in the WAN section of the Asus Web GUI
  5. Now connect the Asus WAN port to the ONT port.

Quite a mixed bag, but there's a few variables I've not yet accounted for - we're in the right ball park.

(I'm on medication which halves my IQ, so I just need to step-by-step through each link in the chain til it's optimally set up).
