<description><![CDATA[d_l posted : It probably depends on the modem.  For example on the old Speedstream modems, it was best to offload the PPPoE work to the router as long as the router had a decent CPU to handle the load.  This allowed the modem to handle more connections (sessions) which was needed for certain online games.  <br><br>There are various ways to set up a modem and router to allow continuous access to the stats.  These methods can probably be adapted to other modems and LAN subnets: &raquo;<A HREF="/faq/sbc">SBC DSL FAQ</A> &raquo;<A HREF="/faq/14772">How do I access the modem GUI thru a router - advanced methods?</A><br><small>--<br><A HREF="http://www.tceweather.com">TCE Weather</a></small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[bbear2 posted : I'm moving from a modem/router combination device to a separate modem and router.  Either of the new devices is capable of doing the PPPoE authentication and I'm wondering which is the best way to go?  <br><br>I would also like to be able to access the modem stats without re-cabling or without reconfiguring PC IP addresses.  Is that possible and is it dependent then upon where the PPPoE is done?]]></description>
