Connect computer directly to ONT?

Member
I'm on Aquiss (so openreach ONT) - want to troubleshoot and check if my router's the issue in my network and wanted to test a direct connection between my computer and the ONT. I'm running Windows 10 and I've setup a PPPOE network via the control panel but it doesn't seem to connect. Is this even feasible and/or am I doing something wrong?

It's feasible, and a common debugging step. A quick search shows quite a few hits but I've not cherry picked one as I've not tried myself.

I've had success with some ISPs and then others I couldn't seem to get the laptop and PPPoE to connect direct to the ONT (same ONT and same laptop different ISP), I wonder if it is a timing issue and perhaps a computer direct to the ONT is sometimes just too quick in firing out packets on the initial attempt to create the connection and some ISP kit just fails to keep up.
 
I don't believe the customer has come to us directly about this, however, normally a failure in Windows is because there is an corrupted .sys or .dll file.

There was a period where for some reason when Windows 10 shipped with missing/corrupted files that still seems to remain a floating issue today.

Do you get an exact error number?
