Does anyone know of a good ADSL2 modem that has half bridging? I've been using Linksys AM300 modems with RVS4000 routers for a VPN setup between 3 of my stores and one of the AM300's has died. I've tried using a Dynalink RTA1025WV6 which has IP-Extension enabled (I believe thats the same as half bridging) but it keeps droping out and not forwarding the IP address to the router.

Anyone have any experience with half-bridging?

Cheers

I never had much luck with the Dynalinks either, and I stuck to AM300's or the Draytek DV120.

There's some VDSL2 ZyXEL modems that do it too, but they're way more expensive.

Get in touch with a DV120 distributor by checking out snapper.net.nz -- Snappernet are the main wholesaler.
Should set you back around $120-ish?

I've had a quick look at the manual and just want to confirm that apart from the standard settings all else I would need to do is check the 'PPPoE Pass-though' options that also allows for PPPoA. Sound correct?
