          Are you working in IT now or career changing (as per your profile)

            I should update that. 🙂 I'm working in IT now. Just time for a change from my current position.

                  Was thinking this morning on the way to work.
                  We currently use Draytek routers for access to CCTV remotely but wondering should I "upgrade" these to EdgeRouters.

                  But with the Draytek's they have ADSL/FTTC modem built in. The EdgeRouters don't as I don't know how things work in the US how do people set these up?
                  Do you connect a Modem type device and "forward" the External IP to the Router? Or do you DHCP/Static of the WAN port to the range of the Modem so if there is a problem you can get onto that device and see Sync and login info etc?

                    ERL has a PPPoE client. You need a dsl modem though, most people here use the PPPoE on the dsl modem and set it to bridge mode for a similar experience as a cable modem.

                      That's what I would do. But it's more the troubleshooting side how do you see what the "connection" is doing without the access to the modem

                            No I have a Dell 710 server at home. So I had to blow away the raid array on the controller.

                                You mean remotely? Locally there is usually an IP address under a captive portal to access.

                                    Both? We're squatting at my Grandparents for a few months (they are snowbirds) until the market refreshes and some new stock comes out... or we decide what we want to do/where we want to be.

                                          Not quite here yet. I'm sure Buffalo is getting hammered. We had a 4 hour power outage this morning. Hopefully not indicative of things to come.

                                            We almost never have ADSL in the US and almost never have modems built into routers. That's reserved for the lowest of low end consumer gear, and ever there it is rare. It happens, but extremely uncommon and basically unheard of in business. It was super rare in business even when DSL was still common.

                                            In the US, for all intents and purposes, your termination is always Ethernet. Modems are provided by the ISP and everything is converted to Ethernet before you have to deal with it.
