I've tried it with a cable plugged into the router with no success.

I might be doing something wrong, when I create my pppoe connection, I cannot choose which ethernet card I want to use. BTW is there a better pppoe client than the one that comes with windows xp ?

I've checked the configuration of the tomato firmware and when it is set to wireless bridge, the router cannot be used as a pppoe client.

For anyone who reads this, it's not a possible thing to do !]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20763015 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:51:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759632 hclatwr : I'll be trying that this evening, thanks for the tip !]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759632 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:52:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759477 hclatwr : The wireless antennas are a part of the equipment, it is not additional hardware]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759477 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:26:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759472 HiVolt : It should work, as long as the 2wire modem allows its pppoe bridge interface to use the wireless option, as well as LAN.

Easy way to test it with a laptop.

Disable the DHCP/Routing settings on the 2Wire modem, but leave wireless on. Connect to the 2Wire modem via WiFi, and you will not get an IP address.

Create a PPPoE session in software on the laptop, whether in XP/Vista, or other software. If the PPPoE connection succeeds, then your proposed setup should work.

my knowledge in networking is limited but here's my 2 cents.

Assuming your bridges are physical wireless adapters

Why not:

internet - 2 wire modem (bridge mode) - buffalo - bridge on LAN port

::::(wireless signal)::::::

bridge - windows, linux

Or leave the 2wire in bridge mode and attempt for the buffalo to make the pppoe authentication wireless.

would be best if you listed all the wireless equip you're using.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759364 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:02:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20758106 hclatwr : Hi,
I would like to know if i t was possible for me to setup my 2Wire 2701 as a "dumb modem" while keeping the wireless access on.

Attached is a drawing of my current configuration, the computer room and the demarcation point are connected together with a wireless bridge on a buffalo WGH-125 running Tomato.

I would like it if my Buffalo could be the router since it has more configuration options (QOS) than the 2wire 2701.

Let me know if you need more info !
