That means you want to connect the AP directly to the ISP without a Firewall/router doing the PPPoE? This is not a supported use-case.

You can (which has to be enabled by support and I never tried it) do a client-side-PPPoE-connection, but I don't think that this is what you want:

I think you have to place a dedicated device in front of the AP to build the PPPoE connection.

PPPoE is not typically used on an access-point. And obviously, you already have connected them "the normal" way to your network. What do you want to achieve with PPPoE?

Hello  Karstenl,

 

Sorry to mislead you in my orginal post we are using two telco providers to deploy the meraki devices.

One of the telco only use pppoe for internet connection and this were the issue arise.

The other telco use "normal connection" hence we are able to deploy the meraki devices okay for these locations.

 

Regards

Hello Karstenl,

 

Thanks the information, I will have to talk with my telco to ask they change the method of connecting it makes no sense in placing a dedicated device just to pppoe connection (7 locations)

 

Thank once agian for you valuable input.

If you only need wireless behind one internet connection it's usually better to use an MX appliance (which can do PPPoE) that has wireless on board MX67W.
