Not sure why you are using telnet commands??

I would suggest the web interface as the telnet shells are usually limited and the web interface is the primary way of configuring these devices.

I would also suggest you check the firmware version and update it to the most current.

On the first page of the web interface, 192.168.1.1, you should see the options for the connection type, they usually default to DCHP, you can then drop the menu and choose PPPoE and then enter the user name and password.

At the bottom of the menu, there should be a save button.
