tp-link wdr3600 router will not connect

Hello,
I have purchased a tp-link wdr3600 router to use with FTTC broadband mainly for it's usb. Have set username to 'myusername'@plusdsl.net with my password. Using PPPoE/Russia PPPoE and automatic connection. Router reporting 'connecting' continuously. I have seen on other forums that there has been successful connections using this router. Any ideas please.
Regards to all

Re: tp-link wdr3600 router will not connect

Very strange, can you try a different cable between the modem & the wan port?

I was using the supplied cable, but have tried different cable. No difference.

That does look like an authentication problem.

Re: tp-link wdr3600 router will not connect

The lights are on both the modem & the wan port?
Triple check you username@plusdsl.net & password.

Yep. I believe Plusnet needs to be involved. Their end appears to be rejecting the data sent by the router.

They will just tell you to try the 582 and if it works not their problem.
Can you post a screen shot of the pppoe screen.

Re: tp-link wdr3600 router will not connect

In the TP-Link settings, what is the 'Secondary Connection' set as?

Re: tp-link wdr3600 router will not connect

Hmm, that's how it should be.  Shocked
I have a TP-Link WR2543!
Have you set any security or parental controls on the router? I'm afraid I can't think of any thing else other than a return to factory defaults.  Embarrassed
As H McB said, PN will not be of much help as it's not their supplied router. You could try using theirs and see if that  will connect OK!
That would rule out any PN problems.

Have you checked for extraneous spaces (as was the problem with this topic)?
