I have Comcast Business class 12/2 service with the SMC "Business IP Gateway," a WRT54g2, and 2 Vonage VDV21 with 2 lines each. What's the best way to set this up? Should I use the SMC as a dumb modem and let the WRT handle the routing and QOS? Should I let the SMC handle the routing and just use the WRT as a WAP (that's all I really need it for)? What's ideal? -- Greedy Old Pigs v. The Donkey Show

That would make it a far more robust router than the SMC. Use the SMC as a modem, and the WRT54G2 (with DD-WRT) as a wireless router. EDIT: A couple posts I've read suggest that the SMC modem can NOT be switched into bridge mode. If that's the case, then your options are limited. Put DD-WRT on the Linksys, disable its DHCP, and use it as an AP.
