It's worth noting that SB also says that the older firmware will not allow the AirBridge to pass more than one MAC address. So it's got to either be a Cable/DSL router, or just one client machine behind the radio.
However, I've been able to get the older firmware to allow two Linksys Cable/DSL routers to login via PPPoE at the same time and have two laptops (one on each router) run speed tests at the same time without any problems.
