Using our own router instead of CenturyLink's
This is with a separate at-the-wall modem that converts fiber optic to ethernet. It's picky about which device it will allow to connect so here's what I had to do.
from the CLink router, find and note down:
-
its WAN port MAC address (in this case
0C:83:CC:DD:54:8A
) -
its VLAN info (in this case
Tagged201
)
on the new router
these are the steps to follow on a GL-iNet GL-AXT1800
-
on the Internet page, in the Ethernet (WAN) section, click "Modify"
-
set protocol to DHCP
-
set VLAN ID to the number
-
Apply
-
-
click the gear icon in the top right corner of that section (with the tooltip "Port Management")
-
set MAC Mode to "Clone"
-
set MAC Address to the old router's MAC address
-
Apply
-
and it should work!
