Help setting Modem/router into bridge mode

[the big dill]

Hello Everyone at Neowin!

i have just switched to an internet service that costs more and provides less ;) lol

i needed help on setting up my modem/router (Aztec DSL605EU) to work in bridge mode because my router that connects 3 other computer forces me to manually connect to the internet every time (user + pass)

here is a pic of where i think is the place to set it up:

What do i do from here? is this the right page?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers :D

once you set it in bridge mode you will need to put in the pppoe settings within the router to "autoconnect" to the internet.

Um step 5 is setting up your router - what you don't know how to put in PPPoE settings on your router? What router do you have?

yes step 5 is for your router (linksys, dlink, netgear, etc) they should all have a pppoe setting. The pc's should not get touched, this is performed only at the router, as this sole router (as in one and only, no other router on the network if you have multiple routers) becomes the device that holds the connection open.

the only reason to set up the aztech dsl router in bridge mode is to be able to port forward in your router behind the modem or to have your router behind the modem do some sort of vpn tunneling.
