Splitting DHCP from ADSL modem?

[Scuba_Steve]

OK so here the next question, say I want to off load the NAT also to the router, can that be done while still having the modem do the PPPoA auth?
"My Bad" in advanced if it turns out to be a stupid question, probably had a bit too much to drink tonight & can't be arsed thinking for myself; Fucking round with technical things like networks is always better with booze... Well at-least more "fun" anyways

In theory. Although that wound involve turning off nat and opening same ports on modem. Then configuring nat on router. Not sure you would see any speed gain.

For that matter you could turn off the firewall altogether and offload that to the router also. Weather that would be smart or. Not would depend on the quality of your kit. Eg old one port modem and new multi port name brand router this would be a good idea. Other way round not so much.

Yeah, you can setup the modem to DMZ everything to the router (hell, if you want, some modems will support passthrough for the connection) but you'll need the services somewhere.

At this point, you should probably be mentioning the equipment used, in case anyone is familiar with it.

The "Modem" is Allied Telesis AR256Ev3
The "Router" is Apple Airport Extreme Gen5

Oh & the firewall's always been off on the modem, cause... Meh, I live dangerous like that
