2830np - WAN2 over PPPOE connects but no traffic

I've got a Draytek Vigor 2830n+ (192.168.0.1) and have connected our primary ADSL which works fine.

I've a second ADSL line on a Netgear DGN1000 router (192.168.0.3). I've changed this to "modem mode" and connected via WAN2 on the Draytek over PPPOE and this connects fine; both WAN1 and WAN2 are showing in green as connected and online on the Online Status page of the Draytek.

However, there no-one can browse the internet. The only way anything will work is to disconnect WAN2 or to add a Load Balance rule to send all traffic over WAN1.

DHCP is managed by an internal server which I've set to use a public DNS (Googles 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) to get around any DNS issues.

I've tried the Netgear WAN2 router/modem on a different subnet (192.168.2.1) and the same happens; it connects to the ADSL but no internet.

Both Draytek & Netgear are up to date on firmware. As directed from other forum posts WAN1, WAN2 & WAN3 have no "Display Name" set.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, so hope someone comes along with advice soon.

WAN2 will show green as it is connected to the modem, yet I have no internet when using WAN2 only, so WAN2 is pointless, yet it does connect to the internet and works fine when directly connected with a PC to test the 2nd connection.

I think I may have to send this Draytek router back, as far as I can see, there are a lot of people complaining about this on the internet.

A fiver says it will work properly if you let DHCP and DNS be handled by the router.
