Yesyou right and i got it already,

and when i replaced their router with another from after market, didnt work, as i called them already and explained my issue, they told me that i cant use another router except the one they provided for me which it is: D-Link DIR-850L.

Thats bad i cant use my preffered router instead.


It is not true that you cant use any router. You have in fact the freedom of choice to select whatever router u want to use. You only need to configure the proper VLAN ID.

I am using a 850L router with stock firmware and it works like a charm.

Even if you dont know the correct vlan id you can still figure it out after few trial and errors. Try 21,24,27 or 31. 21 worked in my case although when I asked etisalat helpline they told me it should be 24 which did not work.


practice of use replacing https ceritficates is widely used in our days by semi-feodalic countries, as kazahstan, uzbekistan for example - but anyway they still have working services there, as local business, and which more important, equipment need it -


so all u need - is any IP (web address) which not blacklisted by your https kill firewall, that all - connect it via any free port (any proxy server able to work at any port - so if you will not be able to reach any other country at all so it will be North Korea intranet but not internet) - and then connect to TOR from it, forward. I think so))


also any RDP works on whichever port you wish - and if provider uses DPI (deep packet inspection) you need any VPN that use encryption, almost every. but as above, some kill every secure connection - but still, as they not closed to international traffic - accept google with their own SSL, china accept their own Ali Cloud opened to other world - so you just use Google VPS / proxy or Ali VPS / proxy for example, and OK.


there are few surrealistic fantasies as in russia, to make internet between BRIC for example - but there was and there present, as old good fido, already darknet sites wwh-club.net / .bit (Blockchain DNS) for example etc, which have TOR and Blockchain DNS mirrors and sure they will have communication in this BRIC and outbound gates sale)))

that been said , this is before 2 years and now the contract finished (mostly for all since that time), u can raise a complain against the upnp connection and change it to non-upnp connection and throw the router of etisalat and use ur own router.


now if you like to use the etisilat router dlink 850 as extender or AP do the following

1- download the firmware from dlink website

2-set your computer to static ip adress 192.168.0.2 and default gateway is 192.168.0.1

3- plug the Ethernet to the lan port neareast one to the wan port

4-enter the dlink recovery mode by removing the power press and HOLD the reset while enter the power plug

,


As far as i concerned, original D-link DIR-850L firmware is not any better. I have searched over the internet and seen plenty of articles describing vulnerabilities and ways to hack this model of router. So if you concern about security, then better to choose more secure router by design, not Dlink.


i tried everything ( replacing the cable , rebooting couple of times the modem and the router , I tried to configure manually with no luck. I checked wan setup , Internet setup like PPPoE username and password all checked with no luck. My connection is cable using fiber, I updated the firmware too but with no luck when I go back to my old dlink router it work like a charm with no issues


Etisalat which is my isp automatically configures the router from their side with their ACS Server, even the WiFi. They can remotely update their firmware and manage your router without your agreement.

Etisalat will only provide PNP elife internet services from henceforth, you can't ask them to turn it off and use PPPOE username and password.

Any other third party router will not work, unless you connect it to the lan port of the Etisalat PNP router and turn off the WiFi in the Etisalat PNP router and use this router.


So, if you have issues, you will have to call Etisalat and buy their routers and range extenders and pay them technician visit charges and have to use their mediocre Dlink routers with the Etisalat logo.


Quote

"Etisalat provided you with the managed router (PNP) to ensure the service works correctly and allows 24 hours per day remote support, only with eLife in the UAE. If you would like to use your router, you can connect it as an access point"

Once again we are always here to serve and to support you, thank you for being our Etisalat valued customer"

in one email correspondence after I asked them if it possible to disable PNP and what are the benefits.

Made a phone call to 101 and asked other Etisalat technicians and they all said this is the newest thing henceforth and no other router works.


( Before unplugging your dlink: Go into its settings -> WAN. Copy your username Copy your VLAN ID Copy your Clone MAC Address (This should be at the bottom) Log into your ASUS Router Select PPPoE Disable upnp. Write in your user/password At the bottom in special requirements from your ISP. Press MAC Clone button. The modem will fill in its MAC Address; change that to the values of the Clone MAC Address field you copied from your DLINK. Between every two characters you need to put : So for example lets say you copied 000000000000 In your ASUS it should be 00:00:00:00:00:00 Press Apply. Afterwards Click on LAN in your left panel -> IPTV -> Change the first field to Manual in the internet VID field write in the value you copied from the VLAN ID field from your DLINK. Press Apply That should do the trick.


Power off your 7800 and modem for about 10 minutes. Power on modem, let modem sync up with network then power on router. If that does not work, clone the MAC of your Dlink on to the 7800 (WAN) and retry. Worst. worst case, call you ISP and get them to change the MAC RE: Dlink to R7800.


well thanks for all your help I appreciate it. I called my isp and I don't know how to explain this but the only router I can use is my old dlink which was provided by my isp and I can't use my new router except for AP only. I filed a complaint about this and waiting for an answer.


since it's my family's place I think that's true, they always try to hide some info from the customer . They said this only happens for new subscription or new upgrade accounts. well since I have my own place with old subscription and I'm already using my own asus router , I think i will give R7800 a try in my place


Your wireless router, by default, broadcasts your hotspot's service set identifier, or network name, to nearby computers and other devices. To improve the security of your network, you can configure your router to hide the SSID, thereby rendering it undetectable. It won't stop dedicated hackers from breaking into your network -- you should still protect your hotspot with Wired Equivalent Privacy or, ideally, Wi-Fi Protected Access -- but it might make your organization less of a target.
