Making a PPPOE Connection on my Router

[Death Master 88]

Evening people.

I want to find out.

I have 20GB Telkom Capped Solution where their login details is configured on my Netgear DGN2200 Router.

Now I got myself a uncapped account yesterday from Mweb aswell.

What I want to do now is the following:

Keep the Telkom details on my router as default;
Want to use the Mweb details on my computer as setting it up as a PPPOE Connection running from my Computer.
Why I want to use this is to let only me use the Mweb connection and keep it seperated from the Telkom configuration.

Can someone tells me if I can use the Netgear DGN2200 for my use of the extra connection or do I need another router which can support the function I want to use.

Thanks in Regards.
Ettienne

What's so difficult about changing the username and password in the router?

I take it you misread this >

What i meant to say: Its not possible so you have to change the username and PW all the time.

This thread says that router doesn't support "PPPoE Relaying/Passthrough" ....

Hopefully there's been an update since then on the firmware ???

ok, get you but then it's useless if he only wants that details/login for himself ?

I forgot about the relay thing, but honestly buying a new router just for that is extreme.

Op should cancel his 20GB account and just use his MWEB one.

See this thread http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/375288-Netgear-DGN2200-Firmware-Upgrade/page2 if you have one of those Telkom ones.

Otherwise a normal FW upgrade should do the trick (I don't know this for sure though - moved to TP-Link myself a long time ago)

I weighed the options and I'm going to get myself the DLINK 2750u DSL Router and use my current router as an Access Point to extend the wireless.

Thanks for those who responded

I bought the router two years ago from a Mweb shop, so no. Not a Telkom Router.

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but I had to inform everyone reading this thread that I am using the Telkom branded Netgear DGN2200Mv2 ADSL router and I can use my PPPoE Relay without any problems to connect to my Afrihost free 1GB account and still use my TI 10GB from the other devices that shares the wifi signal.
