It would most likely break things like you said. Have you tried looking on the <a href="http://www.beusergroup.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">BE Usergroup</a> Technical Wiki for help? p.s. I now use O2 myself but haven't tried to bridge yet. Hello,

p.s. I now use O2 myself but haven’t tried to bridge yet.

My ISP only uses EthoA, but most ISPs in the UK use PPPoA due to BT's platform restrictions (PITA too). My friend tried this firmware using a WRT54GL flashed with DD-WRT, and he reported that it connected for a few seconds then disconnected and wouldn't reconnect (showing everything as Disconnected). Unfortunately I can't see his set up to directly check, but something's afoot... When he uses the device directly as a modem/router, it does function ok, but my DT834GT experience is severely limited. Do you have any pointers for fellow brave souls willing to give your cooked fw a go? ;) I’m interested in this firmware, partly because I have a DG834GT as my spare modem and it’d be lovely to be able to just slot it in in place of my ailing Speedtouch 585v7 (supplied by my ISP).

In my particular setup I had added static routes on the router/firewall device behind the DG834. Off the top of my head I believe it may have been as simple as: route add -net **ISP GATEWAY IP** netmask 255.255.255.255 dev eth0 route add default gw **ISP GATEWAY IP** You may or may not need to do the above - my setup was slightly different as it was actually a secondary gateway. Hope this helps though it may be too late by now! Hi Rob,

Sorry for the delay – Hadn’t been on here in a while as I’ve been extremely busy.

In my particular setup I had added static routes on the router/firewall device behind the DG834. Off the top of my head I believe it may have been as simple as:

route add -net **ISP GATEWAY IP** netmask 255.255.255.255 dev eth0

You may or may not need to do the above – my setup was slightly different as it was actually a secondary gateway.

Hope this helps though it may be too late by now!
