Then I upgraded the firmware and that wouldn't connect using a pppoe connection. I finally sent it back on an RMA for a checkup and when I got it back it *still* wouldn't connect using pppoe. I set it aside for a couple months and was hoping that they would come out with new firmware. They did.

And it *still* won't connect using pppoe. So there it sits. Brand new and totally unusable. What the heck is wrong with LinkSys these days??

It's owned by Cisco ... that's what's wrong.
