Bezeq officially support the router configuration. It is all 100% legal. There are some issues with it's current firmware I have already mentioned on this list. Search in the archives should reveal it. Fixed firmware is in the pre-beta stage and being tested. If you are willing to be beta-tester, I can arrange that you get it. The catch is that you will have to supply feedback to ECI and "Networks and Broadband" forum at Tapuz. The official updated firmware should be released shortly. The reason that Alcatel is not supported is because Alcatel Home's firmware is different (actually just capped) from Alcatel Pro's firmware and most of Alcatel owners never purchased Pro's firmware (hence, they have no license to use it). Bezeq just didn't buy Pro's firmware for distribution to end users.
