Bridge Mode
The ZyXEL Device supports two modes, Router and Bridge . Usually, you should use Router
mode because it supports all the features discussed in this User’s Guide. However, you might
use
Bridge mode in the following situation:
• There is another router in the network; and
• You only want to use the ZyXEL Device for VoIP and Internet access. You do not want to
use other features, such as the firewall, even with their default settings.
5.1 Bridge Mode Overview
In Bridge mode, the ZyXEL Device acts like a bridge, instead of a router. A bridge is simpler
than a router. It may be more efficient in small networks, but it also offers fewer features. In
Bridge mode, your ZyXEL Device only supports the following features, by screen.
