So I received this little fella. ASUS WL-500gp V2
In the rush of fiddling with the tons of wires running through everything, I plugged in a 15V Power supply instead of the usual 5V one, so I heard some frizzling and burn-stench. I immediately unplugged it, of course, and when I plugged it in everything was fine. Everything worked, no exceptions. Well, except one.
I can't make it work with PPPoE. I seem to need a modem to make it interact with my ADSL line - In fact, if I do connect my old ethernet modem to the WAN port, I seem to be ok and everything goes smoothly, otherwise the WAN led doesn't blink. Now - is this normal? Do I really need a cable modem or I just burned something important?
BTW I tried all kind of settings, I even flashed the latest official firmware and DD-WRT. No dice. It just goes "Lost IP from server".
