After using this 2Wire USB modem router model 1000s
with the software ver. 3.5.5 (thru Yahoo SBC DSL)

with the Ethearel Sniffer, I realized that the router
broadcasts ARP request every ~ 30 seconds 

192.168.0.1 broadcast ARP request, who is 192.168.0.2,
3 ,4, .. 18

This will slow down the private network (no problem
internet connection), so I call Tech-supp, SBC rep
forward call to 2wire tier 1 (in India), then forward
tier 2 (in U.S).  The tech-supp tier 2, after worked
with me and told me to change router config, the
problem still have remain, then he told me that 2Wire
designed to work that way for backup the backup, to
keep connection between router and PCs alive.   It's
so odd.

If anyone of you knows anyone in 2Wire, pass on the
message please.  I don't understand why they do that.

Thanks,

Timolthy
