Please advise what is wrong with the NetGear RT314 for ADSL usage???

I assumed from the previous link that described the 3Com Dual Link
proprietary PPPoE issues, that the NetGear RT314 + 3Com Dual Link
combination would make a good shared ADSL solution for those not wanting to
setup a dedicated Linux box. The RT314 also having the benefit of providing
a built in 10/100 switching hub for your LAN.

That device is similar to other LAN to LAN routers being promoted to NZ
resellers by NZ Distributors. I have rung some of the distributors to
enlighten them that they will not work for ADSL in NZ. They are designed to
plug in to a bridged ethernet Cable/DSL modem connection (e.g. Saturn cable
, or DSL modem in Australia/US).

Here is an example, this device is being promoted by one of New Zealand's
largest distributors, the blurb is crap, very few people in New Zealand have
Nokia "modems" they have Nokia "Routers" and this device does not add any
functionality to that.

* NETGEAR

Many ADSL customers currently have Nokia ADSL modems installed. To offer
the ability to share this connection, Netgear have the NERT314AU gateway
router.

The NERT314AU has an ethernet connection plus a 4 port Switch built in which
allows multiple users on one ADSL connection.

Because it is Netgear product, it is easy to set up.
