This is what my set up looks like using the HG612 as modem/bridge to my archer C7
As for your speed issue log in to the hg612 web interface and look under Status > Wan > xDSL
And see what the values for these 2 report
The max your line supports
Line status
Attainable rate downstream (kbit/s) 59852
What its actually synced at
Statistics
Line rate downstream (kbit/s) 54999
From that you can see my max line speed is about 60 but its only synced at 55
thanks , my stats from modem are ;
Attainable rate (kbit/s) 52124 11532
Line rate (kbit/s) 53179 11532
im gcurious about these "alternative" modem settings though ;
Forget ATM, you want PTM.
Under PTM you need ptm1 with DSL latency Path 0 and PTM priority Normal
Under WAN you want ptm1.101 with WAN connection ticked
Service List INTERNET
No port binding
Connection mode ROUTE
Connection type PPPOE
WAN 802.1q ticked
VLAN ID 101
WAN 802.1p ticked
Value 2
NAT ticked

Password bt My "method behind the madness" is that im thinking , why let the router have to do extra work with the PPPoE settings running, when i can set these directly into the modem and let the modem do the work. Maybe im thinking wrong ..?
i might try it and see what happens....lol!
not sure though if i need to change a router setting from "Gateway" to "Router" as it says in the router help, "Operating Mode:
If the router is hosting your Internet connection, select Gateway mode. If another router exists on your network, select Router mode."
should i leave the router at Gateway if using the alternative modem PPPoE settings ?
