Question

Hi there,

my provider gave me credentials - same kind as in the last 20 years - but this time I want to use my new rutx11.

unfortunately the usename may not contain symbols and has limited amount of digits, never before had that issue.

any idea?

Hi,

For your special characters to be injected you will have to use CLI.

Follow this instruction:

1. Login to your CLI
2. Navigate to network config with command cd /etc/config
3. Open network config with command vi network
4. Type "i" and press enter.
5. Now go to the config interface block where you'll see option proto as 'PPPoE'
6. After that if you don't already see line option username and option password, add:

       
    option username 'yourpppoeuser'
    option password 'yourpppoepass'
 

    7. Once you're done press Esc button and write :wq to save and exit.
