Ya as long as the MAC addresses are the same on the sticker and on the UI, we can move past this. 
I'd disable the wifi on the 615 and any wifi on the PC, just be LAN wired for now while your troubleshooting this.

Sticker is the same as the WAN but 88 instead of 89 at the end Furry^

Don't see any option to change anything on the status page

For some reason now I am having internet access through the ethernet cable by plugging the ethernet cable from my PC into the DIR's LAN and then the other cable from the DIR's WAN to the TP Link's LAN. When I tried before when I was looking at the IP on the DIR's status page I am 99,9% sure that didn't happen. It randomly happened while the DIR was connected to the TP Link when I disabled both of my wireless adapters. Not sure if it is expected to work regardless when it is connected to the TP Link. However, still doesn't work when connected from the DIR's WAN to the wall jack.

Last quirp before I take a break, but to change the WAN MAC you go to Setup > Internet > "Manual Internet Connection Setup" button > On the bottom of page there is a place you can enter another MAC address for the WAN. Clicking "Clone your PC's MAC..." will change the WAN MAC to your laptop's ethernet MAC, which we don't want. Instead, change it to ANY MAC address that isn't in use. Maybe just change the last digit to 80 so it's different from everything else but still looks like a Dlink MAC.

Post a picture of the 615s status page while it's connected to the TPLink. So the 615 is working while it's WAN port is connected to the TPLink router. Means that there is a issue between the 615 and your ISP service outlet.

Looks good there.

Yeah but not working if the DIR 615 doesn't connect to the TP Link first.

[FurryNutz]

I presume there is a problem between the 615 and ONT.
Can you try this with the 615 and the ONT wall out let on your PC?
Turning a router into an AP.

You wont be using the WAN port for this test. Just connect wall out let to LAN port on 615 and PC to same.

So I connect the DIR to the wall and to my PC and then follow the guide you linked?

[FurryNutz]

Do the guide first with your PC. When you save settings and reboot the router, then connect the wall out let to the LAN port. You'll loose conection to the web page on the router maybe. The IP address seen on your PC should be the ISP IP address 10.something something something. Not 192.168.2.something.

Any update on this? If your still having issues, the next logical step is to try the Dlink somewhere else, preferably somewhere that has the same ISP as you. Or ask your brother if the router was working normally before giving it to you. Maybe it was acting up before and that's why he got a new one and gave you his.

Been really busy. Should be home early tomorrow so will do the AP test there.
