Hello, sorry to bother you guys but I cannot solve it myself.
I have NetGear EX6200 range extender, i turned it into router with dd-wrt Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r37015M mini (09/23/18
I would like to get rid of my provider router completely(at the moment it sends network to netgear via cable and netgear creates wifis). Yet, I have no idea where to put my broadband provider username and password in dd-wrt? Can anyone help me here?
ps. also, what is the newest firmware for that device I can get?

Welcome to the forums.
It would help to know what the current setup on your provider router shows for this via a screenshot, so we would know exactly what specific help to provide.
But, in principle see screenshot attached. Several possibilities exist. I Use Auto DHCP but you have options.
I took the liberty to also move this thread to Broadcom subforum.
Hello Again, a bit busy with daily stuff but trying to work on that configuration in the meantime .
I just upgraded ddwrt router to the newest firmware and guess I am good for quite some time. Last firmware was from 2018 so I was 4 years behind. Also moved my settings from previous configuration manually.
I have a normal fibre cable connection, not sure if that can be set as PPPoE or rather DHCP Authentication?
EDIT:
Just came across information that if device does not have inbuilt modem it will not do the job. I have no idea if EX6200 has one built in. If anyone see this edit can you please say id ex6200 will even work as standalone router or there is no way?
EDIT 2:
All works as PPPoE . Thank you all for help.
