Re: DGL-4300 PPPoE connection dropping
I think you're going to have to take a different tactic entirely.
Between running torrents and two copies of Azureus, there probably isn't a consumer device with enough memory to handle the NAT tables and keep track of all of those connection statuses.
I would set it up this way:
[D604T-bridging?]--[Windows ICS]--[DGL-4300]-- (to LAN)
The D604T should be configured so that it gives a public IP address to the Windows ICS machine (which is going to be the router in this set up). This means that the Windows machine will need to be set up to handle the PPPoE tasks.
The Windows machine has to have two network cards and needs to be an OS capable to do Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Then it can handle firewall and NAT and DHCP for your LAN network.
It connects to the DGL-4300 via a LAN port
The DGL-4300 will act as a wireless AP and switch instead of a router. So DHCP will be off and nothing will be plugged in to the WAN port.
WHY THIS WORKS, IF IT WORKS: The Windows ICS machine, as a system, has much more memory and a pagefile if needed. It should be able to handle many more connections than the SOHO router.
I've heard back from others who have set theirs up this way successfully for one reason or another. It works. However, I don't know how heavy they were into P2P.
