DSL isn't like Cable where the Modem holds speed settings and configuration settings (nothing to hack in DSL Modems). DSL speeds are controlled/set in the DSLAM locked in a cage or a box and the Modem can only connect at the provisioned port rate set in the DSLAM, so you will not get faster speeds unless you call and order/pay for a faster speed plan.

You really should contact your ISP and ask them which modems are compatible with their service. |

I'd have to say there is another issue as the Firmware holds/stores the PPPoE shim and it holds/stores the Modem code including the Virtual Circuit data aka the VPI/VCI pair. If, and this is a tremendous, huge, super size big if, it would not work with any PPPoE. You likely were trying to set it up while using the Netgear online and that won't work.
You would hook a single PC to the Comtrend and set it up as seen in the User Guide for PPPoE. Reboot the Modem after saving the changes and reboot the PC. Now test to verify all is working before trying to add more PCs.
