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

As a router, since it would still be doing NAT until it is fully bridged.

So if I set the 4100 to "PPP on the computer" under "PPP location" in the 4100 menu, and have my router do the authentication, would the 4100 be acting as a router or as a bridge in this case?

With PPP on the computer you could actually have the 4100 work in either mode, as a router or as a bridge. You just need something to do the authentication, whether it is the computer, a router, or the modem. However, it's advisable to only have one device do the login.

There is a reason the wires are twisted together, it's called a pair. It defeats the whole purpose of twisted pair cabling by using the solid orange and solid green to wire the jack.
