From how I described my system above, how would you think it would run? I am not going to be hosting any form of web server, since I can't get a static IP on my cable conx. Simply, I'm just looking for a way to route two broadband connections into one network simultaneously. I'm running a linksys DSL/Cable 4pt router now, and if I was to run the FR24 into the WAN port of the linksys and use the linksys to run my DHCP (is that possible? I'm not too up on weird layouts like that), could I overcome the DHCP problems in the Hawking box?
If you could describe how the dual line load allocation works, I think that would help my decision greatly. Does it work that when one gets pegged it starts pulling from the other or does it require you to set a max limit before it adds in the second feed? That could be a problem with a cable line, since I can never count on what my max speed will be (sometimes 1Mbps, sometimes 2.5-3Mbps), I may not ever reach that max limit causing the second line ever to turn on. Does that make sense? I guess what I'm asking is if it automatically senses if a line is full, or do you have to set a max data limit to the first line.
