So I have a CenturyLink Calix C844G GPON Modem/Router Combination over a 1Gig Fiber network. I purchased an Asus AX88U Router hoping to disable the Calix router functions and have my Asus do all the work.
The CenturyLink WAN is over IPoE and according to CenturyLink does not require a username/password to connect when the mode gets switched to Transparent Bridge/Tagged 201.
The issue I am having is that when I switch to Transparent Bridge Mode I immediately lose internet capabilities and the Asus router is unable to connect.
I connected the Ethernet cable to the WAN of the Asus and into LAN 1 of the Calix (The modem/router does not have a WAN port).
Am I doing something wrong with the Asus not being able to connect online? The moment I change the Calix to Transparent Bridge the Internet Light disappears. CenturyLink is telling me their is nothing wrong on their end and it is the Asus router.
What are your thought on a resolution or possible fix
