Re: SpeedStream 4100: "Bridged mode" vs "PPP on the computer"

Basically it is a dumb bridge in "bridge mode", and a smart bridge in "PPP on computer" mode. The main difference is that it is easier to get to the modem statistics page in "PPP on computer" mode.

So there shouldn't be any speed difference between the Bridge Mode and the "PPP on computer" mode, right?

Re: SpeedStream 4100: "Bridged mode" vs "PPP on the computer"

Right, no speed difference. Unless you are trying to get statistics, you should not notice any difference.

As far as I know, the "PPP on computer" is the recommended setting if you are using a separate router and want that router to handle the PPPoE.
