We also use the 8817, no issues. On 25 October 2014 08:46, Paul Julian <paul@oxygennetworks.com.au> wrote:
Hi Russell and Mike, the TPLink TD-8817 comes in bridge mode by default and is a single port modem, we use stacks and stacks of these and whilst you have the occasional failure at $23 each or so we just post another one to the customer, it's a lot less than a NFF fee from Telstra ! Lots of places sell them, we just buy about 20 at a time, I think that's a box full.

Mike, whatever you end up using, if you were to stock it I'd buy from you instead of my other suppliers. Even if you mark it up more, I almost always want a Mikrotik router to go with it, and I'd end up saving on shipping. I'd prefer something single-port with no WiFi etc on it though.
My research a while ago also came up with these:
http://www.traverse.com.au/geos11-adsl2-x86-router-appliance
http://www.versatek.com/dslam/adsl2-modem
They looked interesting, but I doubt they'd be A-Tick approved.
What I'd *really* like is an ADSL2+ bridge with zero software configuration, and a few dip switches on the side to select the mode (VPI/VCI/Modulation/Encapsulation). But by the time I figure out how to build such a device, ADSL will be obsolete.

Hi Mike
We had done a further bit of DSL testing with different ISP providers and manufacturers. In the end we ended up using Billion 7800 series, in our case 7800NXL. They use the Broadcom chipset for DSL and it is very stable but you must use D firmware. The previous firmwares were unstable. The D firmware has been out for almost a year.
We use them on 150+ sites. We have started to pull out onsite PoE switches and replace with Microtik then use the billion in pppoe passthrough bridge mode. So far as good.
I don't like to loud mouth other manufactures, but tplink, dlink and others business models do not allow enough time for bug hunting or they continue to add features (draytek) and make the firmware unstable. There is always the Cisco path but for mass deployment stability 7800 is the pick of the bunch and the price is right.
Billion also makes a chaep 7700 but I would not touch it.
Cheers /K

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.
