Ragnor:plo009: Hmm, they say the only difference is one uses the broadcom chip and one uses the trendchip, so does this matter?
Yes this matters, the T with the trendent chipset does not have the ip extension feature for half bridging.
I also have an old megapass wireless adsl2+ modem/router which i got from xnet a few years ago, how can i check if i can use it as a modem to set up a half-bridge with the WR1043ND router?
Login to the admin ui and look for an option called ip extension or half bridge, most likely it won't have it.
I ordered the 8840 from pcforce, but they are sending me the TD W8901G instead because they are out of stock on the 8840. Does this modem support half bridge with the WR1043ND router or should i return it and get another modem? Btw, how can i check if a modem supports bridging/half-bridging when looking at it's support specs?
From what i've read online the 8901G seems to use the trend chip which means it doesn't support half-bridge? Sorry for the noob questions but i'm really confused abot the whole idea of bridging/half-bridging even after reading online, so it basically allows some of all of the connection/configuration to be done on the router instead? Why did everyone recommend me half-bridging over full?
