Hello,

I switched to CenturyLink FTTH, and I'm looking for some small form factor
edge router options (went with leasing their c2100t for now). Basically,
they use PPPoE and require vlan 201 tagging from an ONT.

The vlan tagging has been the biggest headache. I know some folks have been
able to get it turned off, but when I called support they were pretty
clueless. So, with vlan tagging setup, I tried an old E3000 and openwrt,
but it refused to authenticate properly with PPPoE.

So, that leaves me back at square one. I'm looking for something small, not
sure if this would work, but the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter (X Advanced Gigabit
Ethernet Routers ER-X 256MB) is a good size. I'd like to be able to toss
Linux on it (or BSD), run a firewall (ipdabales) and pass the traffic to my
wireless router. Really only need 2x gigabit ports, and ideally the
hardware would handle 1 gig throughput (don't have it, but want to future
proof a little), can handle larger NAT tables and IPv6.

Hoping to hear thoughts or other peoples experiences with this, thanks!
