Little bit of background before we get to the main issue:
I have a rather old dlink router (2015), still working fine

issue:
thought my PPPoE login still works, but there is not internet connection on it. as per the ISP, its a router issue mostly cause its old. They have provided a diff. PPPoE id, and i'm able to connect to it using the same router and it works fine with internet connection

questions:
is this something a router can cause, since i don't think that's the case
i don't have a diff. router to test it on

or can it be that there is some restrictions on the PPPoE ID from ISP end

as for my subscriptions, it good for another month

also any suggestions for new router for home use

I think this is an issue to work with your ISP. Your router doesn't know the difference between your login and a different login.
