I tried to get the Huawei modem they supplied to work in bridge mode by trying every forum post I could find and iiNet techs sending me firmware that should have worked, but no joy. Idea was to use my Billion modem-router to manage the network and the wifi. If I ethernet between the two, but without bridge mode, the wireless performance is better but still get drop out and the Huawei is obviously still.managing the network. Looks like it is something to do with either how many devices the Huawei likes to have or how it updates IP address leases. At that point I'd reached the limit of my expertise and care factor! Definitely are some VDSL modems with VoIP but nothing I'm that keen on (either crap or ridiculously high end but not much in between). That's a good tip though John about the ATA - I might give that a go. Looks like they are about $50 and don't limit my modem choice.
