It would be great if DIET PI can be used as a router.

Ah okay, to be true this is not my profession, I think @k-plan might be able to help you best with what is possible there.

Not sure if the current DietPi network settings are compatible with this (without manual adjustments that could then break proper work of DietPi-Config).

But sounds interesting if its possible/compatible to implement into DietPi.

Thanks for your request.

Of course as modem device you require special hardware, but you can already setup your device as DNS server and WiFi gateway, e.g.: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5&p=1207#p1207

Is this what you are looking for?

No, not modem just a pppoe Server since I get a wan connection type pppoe. It won't require any special hardware.
Just need to install https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pppoe

Feature Request: PPPOE Server with DHCP

No, not modem just a pppoe Server since I get a wan connection type pppoe.

So I think, you need a PPPoE Client , not a PPPoE Server for your device.
And you need two different physical network interfaces, eg. eth0 and eth1 or eth0 and wlan0 or wlan0 and wlan1, etc .

I think @k-plan might be able to help you best with what is possible there.

Yes possible, if you have two interface (ethernet or WiFi) on your device :

Not sure if the current DietPi network settings are compatible with this (without manual adjustments that could then break proper work of DietPi-Config).

Yes, correct. After adding and edit /etc/network/interfaces for pppoe client use, you can never touch dietpi-config -> Network at this moment. Sorry.

I personally will prefer, if I really need a real PPPoE Server or PPPoE Client for my SBC , especially if this has not two different physical network interfaces, some cheap devices like this, powered by USB from the SBC:

Cost like a good supported WiFi USB or Ethernet USB stick and work much better for PPPoE Client and if you need it, as well as PPPoE Server for Clients (ROS Level 4 licence: until 200 PPPoE tunnels)
