Unfortunately, I am unable to check the SNR margin on the D-Link easily, because I can't access its web interface due to routing issues, unless I take the router out of circuit, and connect a PC directly to the modem, or add a switch, so I can connect a PC at any time (the web interface and DHCP server do remain active for the LAN port in bridge mode). From memory, I think it was around 6 or 7 dB at 3.6Mbps sync speed.
what sort of router are you using? if it's running linux, you may be able to do port-forwarding or run a simple http/https proxy so that connections from your LAN (i.e. your PC) to a particular port on your router get forwarded to port 80 or 443 on your d-link modem. otherwise, if you have a linux machine that's on 24/7 (or at least, on whenever you want internet access), you might want to think about getting rid of the router and using your linux machine instead. or replace the router with a low-power linux laptop (built-in UPS but mediocre networking) or mini-ITX machine (good NICs, wifi). craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
