I don't use DSL so I can't help with the PPPoe. But as for a spare modem.You maybe surprise to find Value Village has them often! . I have found several Routers that are upgradable to DD-WRT for $5 Example the other day I picked this one up for $5.99. http://www.cnet.com/products/linksys-wrt400n-simultaneous-dual-band-wireless-n-router/
