I got a Billon 7100 from www.computeronline.com.au and although the
firmware is a bit flakey at startup, once going it works well, I
dispensed with the units NAT etc, and just run it in bridged mode
connected to the firewall. It does not have a hub builtin, but I just
plugged it into the existing hub. I also have the unit connected to the
firewall through the existing hub and am just running pppoe over that
eg:

Does anyone know if this will have any side effects on the security of
my network?
