Thank you for every ones input.

I guess it really doesn't matter how I use the 5100b; PPPoE or not.

I was just searching to see if one way or the other had better performance and security.

Thanks to all!

This isn't a major change for my router setup than when it was doing the PPP. It still gets the WAN IP.
3. I can still get the to modem interface to check stats, etc.

Personally, I'd suggest leaving the modem at default and setting up the router to just grab an IP by DHCP.

Why? I'm not saying that's wrong or anything, just curious as to why you like doing it that way.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-PPPoE-on-my-5100b-or-Router-Which-way-is-bes-10209388 Tue, 11 May 2004 01:43:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-PPPoE-on-my-5100b-or-Router-Which-way-is-bes-10208479 --

I have a 5100b and set it for pppoe on computer and use my dlink router to handle the pppoe.

---

I have same modem and router. I did the above and so far have not had any problems. I've heard that some folks set the modem to "PPPoE not used (Bridged)" and have no problems either so I don't know what the difference is in the settings. Anyway, do the above and you will be fine.

Then if I need to check stats I just plug a machine directly to the 5100b. As far as performance no difference really. If you have mulitple machines I would let the router do pppoe.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-PPPoE-on-my-5100b-or-Router-Which-way-is-best-10206761 Mon, 10 May 2004 20:19:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/PPPoE-on-my-5100b-or-Router-Which-way-is-best-10206013
I am wondering if it is better to set my SpeedStream® 5100b to do PPPoE or let my router do it.  I use the Linksys BEFSR41 router.  I also have a 5100a I can use.

What offers the best performance?
What offers the best security?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks
