So, from what you are saying you can only manage the modem when connecting it directly to a PC to configure the connection and see what current download/upload speed it is connected it? That's quite limiting if that's right.
Yes, its a separate modem, like my old one. I'm using my old Buffalo WBR2-G54 router. It doesn't seem to make any difference to the speed.
It does indeed seem peculiar that you cannot access the modem's stats when it is connected to a router. But you aren't missing out on any configuration, as there hardly is any.
