3. TURN THE 1ST ROUTER (ROUTER/MODEM) INTO A BRIDGE:
Occasionally, the internet service provides a Router/Modem that will allow you to disable the router
functionality and turn it into a bridge. Turning the router into a bridge effectively disables all router/firewall
functionality, and roughly turns the router/modem into a modem. A bridged Router/Modem is being used
to simply to pass thru the Internet connection to the 2
nd
router, which is doing all the
routing/firewall duties.
You will need configuration notes from a manual, the ISP, or the internet for the router to accomplish this
method. To make/verify these changes, you will likely need to have a Cat-5 cable going from your computer
directly into one of the LAN ports on the router.
Please note that some Router/Modem hybrids suffer from a lack of documentation and primitive interfaces.
Unfortunately, many of these hybrid models may have interfaces designed against allowing any significant
changes. If there is an “Advanced” or “Expert” portion of the router configuration this is likely where you need
to get to make changes. If you cannot make the router into a bridge, try option 4/5 below.
Wiring Diagram:
Wiring Configuration:
Connect the internet to the WAN port on the 1
st
router. Connect a LAN port from the 1
st
router to a WAN port
on the 2
nd
router.
Router Configuration:
1. Check the Internet/WAN settings. You may need this information when setting up the
Internet/WAN settings on the 2
nd
router. Look for PPPoE, Dynamic, Static etc. and copy down these
settings. If there is a password and it is obfuscated (*****) consult your Home-Owner or the ISP
documentation for this information.
2. Enable Bridge Mode. This may be one step or several steps depending on your router. We strongly
suggest speaking with technical support for the ISP, locating support documentation from the
router/modem manufacturer, or searching the internet for notes on all the steps of enabling this mode
on your particular hardware.
3.
Turn off the Firewall. Look in advanced, security, firewall settings or similar to find settings for the
firewall and disable it if possible. You may also wish to disable anything you find labeled NAT Firewall
or SPI Firewall.
This may be done automatically when you enable bridge mode.
4. Verify WAN/Internet Connection type in the 2
nd
router. You may need to enter a PPPoE
password or set to static type. Refer to the ISP or your notes from Step 1 for configuration details.
5. (Optional)Configure LAN settings such as DHCP Server, Wireless type/security, and Port
Forwarding in the 2
nd
router. If you are using an Elan router, these steps should be set correctly by
default. If you are not, see Option 1 for configuration details.
