Hi Adrian Does your router use VLAN tagging on it's WAN port?
Many UFB RSPs provide service from the ONT using a tagged VLAN. Most often it is VLAN 10, but not always. It can also be untagged, so it all depends on what type of service the RSP purchases from the LFC. If your ISP uses VLAN tagging then that would explain why your PPPoE client can't discover the access concentrator (you would first need to configure the correct VLAN on your LAN NIC, assuming it supports tagging).
