We are hoping to move from a slow DSL line to a much faster Uverse line. Our current setup is a DSL Modem with the Cisco WRVS 4000 behind it, with Static IP's. Uverse has installed the line and furnished a NVG589. I am hoping to basically use the NVG589 as a modem, pass through the Static IP address, and let the router do all the work/port assignments, etc., as we have it configured for various port forwarding activities and don't want to have to try to do significant configurations to the NVG589.
I have been advised that the basic way to do this is:
1. Turn off wireless on the NVG
2. In the Firewall settings, allocate IP Passthrough to the MAC address of the Cisco WRVS4000.
Seems simple enough. Are there any roadblocks/bumps-in-the-road/nightmares about which I should be aware? Is Uverse reliable in these situations?
Any tips/suggestions/opinions are appreciated.
