PPPoE with WRT400N problems

I am replacing an old Netgear MR314 with Linksys wrt400n. I have an old Alcatel DSL modem ('speed touch Home'). When I daisy chain the wrt400n (planned for obtaining IP via DHCP) off the coast of the mr314, it works fine. However when I reconfigure the wrt400n to use PPPoE with the same PPPoE user name and password as the mr314 had and plug the wrt400n directly on the ADSL modem, the wrt400n never leaves 'connection' mode on the status page. There is no error reported, even when I mangle intentionally username. In addition, there is no flicker of Rx & Tx lights on the modem. I turned it off and them powered upwards in order (1 modem, then wrt400n), with the same result. It's like the wrt400n is not communicating with the modem, but it does not communicate with the old raouter. I use the same cables when I'm daisy chaining off the coast of the MR314. I also checked for firmware updates, and there is not.

Since I havve a very old ADSL modem, I thought that maybe the wrt400n doesn't detect that the modem can be slow, that is, it cannot handle 100 MHz. So I put an old hub 10Base-T between the wrt400n and the ADSL modem... and now it connects. The router seems to work fine now.
