Hi

I have taken a look through quite a few posts but haven't seen a definitive answer to my query, but incase I've missed it then I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
I'm looking for help with the set up of using the AEBS with my Sagem F@ST2504.
My AEBS arrives tomorrow.
Due to my ISP's T+C's, I have to have their Sagem F@ST2504 connected to my broadband line.
My current setup is -
I have a D-Link DIR-615 connected via it's WAN port to the Sagem. I use the D-Link for wireless, distributing IP addresses etc, the Sagem has DHCP disabled and wireless broadcast switched off.
The question is whether the AEBS can be used in exactly the same way as the D-Link, from what I been reading it seems the AEBS may display a double NAT error and have to be used in bridge mode. Is this correct? Are there any drawbacks to this?
I will be connecting my iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro to the AEBS wireless, my PS3, NAS and digibox will be connected via ethernet. Should these be plugged into the AEBS or the Sagem's ethernet ports?
Port forwarding will also be a big factor as I externally connect to my NAS quite a lot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Mark

That's how I have my AE5 connected. The AE5 designates all the IP addresses, not my Surfboard 6120 modem
