Christian,

Thanks for responding,  but what I really need to know if you know of anyone that is using it with TDS's fiber opital portion of their network. I have fiber coming to my home and from there they are running ethernet cable to the modem/router's WAN connection. I noticed that the AX8 has a WAN port, is that only for bridging or can it be setup for a direct connect to their network?
