Notes
  • Wiki Page
  • Only use as a 'bridge', the router has a number of vulnerabilities when used in router mode.

Typical Scenarios

Or, maybe these typical scenarios will help you decide:

Your Scenario Our Suggestion
I'm a home user, wanting wifi and wired connections for ADSL or FTTC   Technicolor 582n
I have my own routerboard or similar router with ADSL   DLINK DSL 320B.

In bridge mode, your router can then talk PPPoE to it.

I'd like to do bonding with ADSL/FTTC   FireBrick 2500, and use a DLINK modem if you have ADSL lines. Or use a 2700 of you have faster lines and may want fallback to 3G.
