Hi Logan,

How can I do the same with the Emtel Airbox Router which is a technicolor
router? I don't think that it would be easy to change the router like that
as the internet connection is actually mapped with the MAC address and
Serial Number of the router and there is no way to setup a bridge to
another router and initiate a PPPOE connection like you can do with Orange
Fiber.

Best Regards,
Benoit
