[TriLUG] Question on AT&T DSL Extreme 6.0

[metro305]

They can't really tell and perhaps they suggest only 4 nodes as a limit so that if everyone is online speed is not an issue?!   I have ~10 nodes and as mentioned using NAT permits me to hide all them behind the router.  

I have been using AT&T DSL for 1 year with AT&T no contract dry loop with static ip $40.00/month  I use a generic ADSL modem to bridge to my Asus RT-N16. 

I do not like having to use a PPPoE connection but do have low pings and 6mbps down with 768kbps up.
