+1 the TD88xx series. The 8840T and the 8817 (for a 1 port model) are both are great for the vast majority of DSLAMS around aus and they cost peanuts. The exception being they don't seem to be the best with bad lines + Telstra dslams. Good old speedtouch modems or the new Telstra Thompsons have performed better in this scenario -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Andrew Cox Sent: Friday, 24 October 2014 2:45 PM To: MikroTik Australia Public List Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] simple, sensible modem for pppoe-passthrough bridge Hey Mike, TD-8840T is the bee's knees in our experience. Have deployed over 150~ of the things and only time we've ever had a problem was with one getting sandwiched between a Cisco 4948 and a server (which was dropped on it) which caused the plastic to start browning/melting and the device stopped working. Bought it back into the office and it came back up just fine :-) They cost around $20-30AUD depending on where you source them from. - Andrew On 24 October 2014 16:17, Mike Everest <mike@duxtel.com> wrote:
Hi Folks,
Seeking recommendations for a good dsl modem that supports all of the typical dsl variants that also supports a decent pppoe passthrough bridge mode. No wireless, no multiple ethernet etc - just adsl port and 1 ethernet port is ideal :-D
I recently bought a couple of draytek vigor 120, and hope I don't upset anyone by describing it as a piece of crap. I've wasted too much time trying to get them to work like a bridge, reliably and without losing config updates every second reboot. I have two of them in place and almost in production (project goes live ib a couple of weeks) at location almost 4 hours drive away, and I really want to bin them and replace with something that I have more confidence in :-}
Any suggestions, comments, (and abuse, if you feel the need, ;-) are most welcome!
Thanks,
Mike.
