PLEASE NOTE:Any gateway/router which will do PPPoE will work just fine with SBC's "sticky" PPPoE. What they won't all do is route the entire /29 (and 5 usable IP addresses) across the WAN-LAN boundary. You will get ONE, used by the LAN via the router's NAT functionality. If you want to assign public addresses to your servers on the LAN, you need a unit which has that capability along with PPPoE. This is not very hard to do with easily obtained equipment. See below.



The following routers are known to work with the SBC/Ameritech 5 Static IP PPPoE-delivered package, allowing use of all 5 IPs on your LAN. Any router that supports PPPoE and mapping addresses across to the LAN works. There are several ways to do this.

(Note: The stock Linksys, DLink, SMC and stock Netgear products will not work. Some older Netgear units can run ZyXel firmware, and they will work once the firmware is changed. See this forum post.) Some Linksys units running third party firmware work as well. See below.

Netopia/Cayman 3546 (Previously provided equipment, router & modem in one)
Efficient 5861 (Previously provided equipment, router & modem in one. Please note that this needs firmware at the .140 or later level to operate at full speed on a 6 megabit line.)
Cabletron Systems 255, which predated the 5861. This one needs upgrading to PPPoE to work and is no longer in production. Most can run 5861 code.
ZyXEL P310 (router only-you need an Ethernet modem too)
ZyXEL P314 (router only-you need an Ethernet modem too)
ZyXEL P316 Wireless Router (router only-you need an Ethernet modem too)
ZyXEL ZyWALL 10 (router only-you need an Ethernet modem too)
Note: Zyxel routers require firmware version 3.25.

SonicWall SOHO (router only-you need an Ethernet modem too)
Netopia R-6100 See this FAQ entry.
Netopia R910 See this FAQ entry.
Netopia 4541
Cisco 1700 series and maybe others (see this FAQ entry for instructions) You need a modem too.
Cisco 827-4v Instructions here.
Cayman 3220H This router & modem combo will bridge LAN devices with the public addresses while supporting NAPT. Cayman 3220H OS 6.2 or later supports mapping the public WAN addresses 1:1 to private LAN addresses.
3Com Officeconnect Remote 812 ADSL router See details in this FAQ entry.

2-wire HomePortal/OfficePortal A modem/router combo which as of the date of this revision (02/03/2005) is current equipment for many accounts. See /faq/11776 for details on how to set it up.

Netopia 3346n This is the current modem/router combo provided to static IP customers who do not want the 2-wire, preferring a more business-class product.

Linksys WRT54G running OpenWRT See »Ameritech - SBC FAQ »OpenWRT Linksys WRT54G for 5 static IP Service .

DIY If you are so inclined you can roll your own with *nix and some tools. See /faq/3028 and /faq/11695 for ideas.


Remember to use @static_ameritech.net or @static.sbcglobal.net as the login domain to get your assigned IP block.
