Hello,
I am facing a unique issue with my GL-iNET Brume 2 gateway. The PPPoE authentication and internet connection only hold as long as my phone is connected to the gateway via a USB cable. The moment I disconnect the USB cable, the PPPoE authentication fails, and the internet connection drops instantly.
Here’s a simplified outline of the issue:
- Device: GL-iNET Brume 2
- Scenario: PPPoE authentication and internet connectivity are stable only while my phone is connected via USB to the gateway. No actual tethering is needed, just the physical connection of the USB cable.
- Problem: The instant the USB cable is disconnected, PPPoE authentication fails, and the internet connection is lost.
I have attempted rebooting the device, rechecking the PPPoE settings, and looking through the logs, but haven’t found a clue to resolve this. Has anyone come across a similar issue or have any insights on how to troubleshoot this? Your assistance would be highly appreciated.
