In Bridge mode, only a single device can be connected to the Internet through the modem. This device can
be a computer, router, or WiFi router. In Bridge mode, Network Address Translation (NAT) is disabled, the
DHCP server is disabled, and IPPT is enabled.
Because IPPT is enabled in Bridge mode, Bridge mode can be useful for implementing a virtual private
network (VPN), point-to-point, or remote management connection to a single device that is connected to
the modem. Such connections usually require that a public IP address is assigned to the modem’s WAN
port, and through IPPT, to the device that is connected to the modem.
To change the modem from Router mode to Bridge mode, or the other way around:
1.
Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.
The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is
connected to the modem.
2.
In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1.
The Dashboard page displays.
If you did not select the Remember me check box when you logged in previously, a
limited Dashboard page displays. In the Sign In field, enter the modem password
and click the Sign In button. The default password is password (case-sensitive).
Note
3.
Select Settings > Advanced > LAN.
The LAN page displays.
4.
Do one of the following:
•
To enable Bridge mode, select the Bridge radio button.
•
To enable Router mode, select the Router radio button.
By default, the Router radio button is selected.
5.
Click the Submit button.
Your settings are saved and the modem restarts. Any devices that are connected to the modem are
disconnected when the modem restarts.
Enabling Bridge mode automatically disables the modem’s DHCP server.You can connect only a single
device to the modem.
Enabling Router mode automatically enables the modem’s DHCP server, which assigns a LAN IP
address to each connected device.
Change the DHCP Server Settings
You can change the DHCP server settings only when the modem functions in Router
mode (see
Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode
on page 22).
Note
The modem is preconfigured to function as a DHCP server when Router mode is enabled. The modem’s
default DHCP IP address range is 192.168.5.20–192.168.5.99.
