The support guy says to reset the router. I'm not sure if that's going to make any difference ...

What does TX STUCK mean ?

Also, with regards to a WAN over PPPoE ...

Does my MAC address get propagated to the ISP ?

Shouldn't a dropped connection be registered by the ISP ? ( Support said the connection never dropped ).

My understanding is that with a WAN over PPPoE, the connection pretty much runs from my laptop to the ISP through the router. Instead of running from

laptop -> router -> ISP ...
