ok on changing router here are my thoughts please correct me anyone or add useful information if ok please.

If I change router so dropping the ppp connection (but leaving modem connected and turned on) this will not affect DLM?
Any router that supports pppoe auth with the username set in the hh3 and blank password should work?
Ideally I should set ppp timeout to something like 30 seconds or higher, so a modem resync event or other short lived outage maintains the ip? or is it dhcp timeouts I mess with?
Is the dir615 good enough to route traffic at 80mbit/sec?

Basically my plan is to put in by the end of this weekend maybe today my billion 7402nx gigabit router as the new router so the dir615 is still on VM and maintaining my VM ip (until I update various ACL's). The billion is a nice router but in terms of functionality ddwrt probably does have it beat, I love ddwrt, however the billion has superior hardware to the dir615.

I also am going to activate the superhub for my VM service so us guys who love to debug VM data get to see my connection on the new superhub firmware, then when thats done and I eventually put it in router mode I will decide if will use the dir615 for my infinity or not as the gateway. It will likely be connected regardless as I need more than 4 lan ports, but the question is if it will be just a switch or gateway, dont know yet, may even get a dir825 or something so I have gigabit ddwrt.

The hh3 itself is ok and I see has a ok interface, but I also see I cannot make it respond to pings directly and its limited (like most isp hardware) in functionality. Also I agree with qas the design of the hh3 is light years ahead of the superhub, its much smaller.

thoughts?
