I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to my question. Here's the problem I'm having. I flashed my WR841ND with dd-wrt. It worked previously through a routed bridge with the westell 7500, but the dd-wrt setup is much more specific. I'm told that I need to enter my user name, password, and DNS based on the fields in dd-wrt when I am setting up PPPOE. Verizon will only give me my user name. They say my password doesn't matter, and they can't give me the DNS. Do I need this information? Can I use the DNS I was connected through before using dd-wrt?
Also, I hear that cloning the MAC works to solve my problems, but I don't know how to do that in dd-wrt. Can I do that if I use VOIP for my phone line? I've heard that it's not recommended, but I don't know why.

Problem solved. I had to use PPPoE settings on the TP-Link W841ND router. I thought it was automatic, but I needed my login information from support.

#1 Is the Westell setup for Bridge-Routed Bridge, for Bridge-Bridge, or for PPPoE?
#2 If the Westell is setup for Bridge-Routed Bridge: Is the DHCP Client in it Enabled or Disabled?
#3 Do you have access to the net while your computer is wired directly to the Westell?
#4 What and where is the equipment that handles VOIP?
For example: Vonage VDV21-VD that is behind the router running DD-WRT.
