[SOLVED] can i use another router (as a repeater) with the same PPoE user?

[Kevin0x1]

Hi all,
i'm well awared that some isp don't allow a second router with the same PPoE user profile.

So, is it possible to use another router (connecting with LAN to LAN) in static ip as a repeater with the same PPoE user?
and will there be any MAC issue that needs to be fixed?

What is your end goal.

You can always just hook 2 routers together lan/lan. On the second router you would have to disable most the features that makes it a "router" and use it as a AP. The key one is to turn off the dhcp server. A AP is a device that has wifi radios that you connect to a network via ethernet.
Almost all routers have a AP mode but using the lan/lan method even routers without this feature can be made into AP.

Maybe you are trying to do something different. You do not need PPPoE to just simple AP.

PPPoE is basically a form of vpn that is not encrypted. There is nothing technically that prevents it from running over any ethernet connected network. You can run multiple PPPoE sessions on the same network but all this depends on the how stuff is setup.

In general when a home user is talking PPPoE most times this is some form of DSL connection to the ISP. Even though technically a ISP could allow multiple PPPoE sessions most do not because of the hassle of supporting it.
Partially a single login is what keeps people from stealing their service by giving people that live in different houses their id and password.
