Re: [MT-AU Public] simple, sensible modem for pppoe-passthrough bridge

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.

Just as a followup, I've just finished moving from two 877's at home (wanted IPv6 on wifi...) to a CRS109 with a TP-8817 in front of it. Darn thing syncs 1.8mbps higher than my 877, though I did have an extra 3db SNR margin on my 877 to make it stable, so we'll see how the 8817 goes for stability. Just wanted to say that the 8817 does NOT support ADSL information via SNMP, the whole 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.94 tree is missing. Don't suppose anyone can suggest a good yet cheap-ish DSL modem which does support DSL stats via SNMP? :) On 26 October 2014 11:24, Thomas Jackson <thomas@thomax.com.au> wrote:
