Hi, I am new to DD-WRT.

I have a Linksys MX4300 (LN1301) & I need some help with setting up CenturyLink fiber connection.

I know I need to setup CenturyLink as PPPoE & set VLAN ID to 201. I had no issue with stock router last time but I just couldn't get it to work with DD-WRT.

Would someone be able to help me out with this? Thanks!

You do not have to tag the bridge br0 but the WAN port (eth0)

and then select eth0.201 below under “WAN port assignment”.

Thank you! Finally it is working now!

I am sharing the screenshots as a reference for those that need.

you should set eth0 to “unbridged”
Since you are probably not using the interface and it is bridged to the LAN

Are you referring to this part?
