Hello!
I have finally received my awaited BRUME 2, however the first few hours have not been the best! 
I have FTTP (Fibre ONT modem) that currently connects to my existing Amplifi HD Mesh router. This has PPPOE already setup / working fine.
Now I would like to connect BRUME 2 as my main router [ONT MODEM → BRUME 2 → Amplifi HD Router (Bridge Mode)] however connecting to the PPPOE account has been hard work!
At this point i have the existing HD router turned off, and i have only connected the BRUME 2 to the ONT Modem.
- I have restarted the ONT multiple times, including Brume 2
- I have cloned the existing HD Router MAC and put onto the WAN ETH0 port for the BRUME 2 (NO difference in connection logs)
- lost all patience.
- The PPPOE account is exactly the same as the existing setup, if i reconnect my OLD router back into the ONT, internet works again (horray).
Logs outputed from BRUME 2 when attempting to setup PPPOE:

The main line pointing out to me is:
Fri Aug 11 08:57:11 2023 daemon.info pppd[7683]: CHAP authentication failed: Realm not found in wholesaler
However i cannot find much information about it, and to repeat myself the PPPOE Accout and PW is exactly the same as the existing router (That works!).
ie: username@broadband.vodaphone.co.uk
Am i missing anything here?
*DropIn GW in not something i am interested in.
Thanks in advance!!
