quote:
Functionally, both the 1800HG and the 2700HG-B are identical, other that 2 small hardware things, no HPNA or USB on the 2700HG-B.
The 2700HG-B also has the Atheros wireless, the 1800HG has the TI chipset. They both do 802.11g and 400mw of power.
For software, they both can run the newest releases of firmware, 4.25.19, and with the 4.x firmware can support ADSL2+. As for firewall issues, i've not had any issues with my firewall involving port-forwarding, as i've hosted FTP/SSH servers on my PC and even opened a custom port to forward (and redirect) an odd port number to port 80 on my TiVo, which is hacked and running TiVoWeb.
I also know that DMZ was working, as I had to use it when i configured a friend's non-dsl homeportal behind my homeportal. i put it in DMZ mode to allow the traffic to pass through to the configuration server, which is required for getting the proper wireless settings in the box.
I'm on a 2700HG right now, running Trillian with no issues (ftp transfers too) and occasional uses of Azureus.. never touched the firewall. Even games people say have issues, like Battlefield 2 work just fine.
