You talk as if PPoE is an on-going or intensive task!
It's not, so what's the gain?
Leave the firewall functions on the less configurable
modem to lower the load on
the router? No point there either. the router is built
to do it, still way
under-utilized (based on it's status page) even
running the firewall, and a hell
of a lot more configurable & verbose!
It makes ZERO sense to use the modem for more than
modem functions when the most
common brand and model DSL modems is Westell vs. using
a good linksys router
with 3rd party firmware.
