are both 182.168.xxx.xxx or is it 182.168.xxx.xxx and 182.168.yyy.xxx?

And are you sure that it is 182? 182 is an IANA net. I think you want to
use 192.168.xxx.yyy (otherwise you isp's router will drop your packets)

is the routing and forwarding between th interfaces set up corretly?

ok, if i understood crrectly:
Internet to Modem, Modem to Linux, Linux to (network1, network2)

thats ok, makes sense.

faster nics, faster switch, faster cpu, more ram
