Hi guys,
I want to use my N5200BR Pro as a router, but to do this I need to set it up to log into my ISP using PPPoE.
Now either I'm daft or this functionality doesn't exist yet.
I've toyed with the idea of installing debian (I am a linux novice, but could probably figure it out) but it seems overkill for just this one function.
Could someone please point me in the right direction to get this functionality? Thanks
K

Have no direct answere, but generally I think thats not a good idea - You will expose Your box then to the internet and there is no firewall available on the box. I propose that You install a proper access router with included firewall and connect all your boxes to that router. br peter

Keljian,
I couldn't agree more with Peter. Even if it was possible, you're opening a big risk doing so.
