Zool,
I know this suggestion is going to get blasted, but; why not just get a
2N1 RJ45 connector and allow 2 separate output feeds from your DSL
Modem? Or, does your DSL Modem also have other ports?
My last DSL Router was 1 line in and 1 line out. That line OUT went to
my router.
My LAN was below/beyond my router. But then, I only do 'wired' LAN for
my clients; and, the only
user is myself. JMHO.

I run ADSL at home. I used to use a all in one gateway, but I had issues,
so I bought a DSL modem and a router only.
Now, I have further split my network out into the following:
DSL Modem<============= WRT54GL (Running Tomato for
Routing)<============ASUS RTN-56U acting as an Access Point only.
Right now, the WRT54GL is dishing out the DHCP stuff and doing the QOS and
what not. I haven't really had any problems, but beofre introducing the
WRT54GL, I had just the ASUS RTN-56U and things were fine also. But I have
noticed a bit more improvement in congested situations (i.e. lots of people
torrenting, youtube and browsing) due to the superior QOS in Tomato.
So my question is:
Is there tangible merit in the above method? Or should I scrap the WRT54GL
and keep just the ASUS RTN-56U?
Thanks as always for the help.
