Help setting Modem/router into bridge mode


Recommended Posts

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.

i have done those steps before with no solution... i get stuck on page 5 since it isn't for only my router...

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.

    • I am forced to use Windows for two reasons. The Adobe package does not run on Linux and I do not have enough money to buy an Apple M3 or M4. Otherwise I would have abandoned Windows a long time ago. I use Linuxmint on a virtual machine and it is clear how fast it is compared to the rigid Windows. We have had multi-core processors for a long time but they do not exist for Windows. They only think about useless things shoved down the customers' throats.
    • Yeah what can you expect in the first 4 years?? Where on your body is the Zune tattoo?
    • Microsoft still tries really hard to convince people about Windows 11. It does not realize, the harder it tries the more people hate it. And it is not people's fault. It is MS that tries violently to own your computing environment without your consent. Cheers MS!
    • I've got a basic black and white laser printer that's connected via USB and doesn't do wifi etc. I think I'm going to be just fine.
    • Edge 138 is out with AI-powered history search and other changes by Taras Buria Microsoft has released Edge 138, the latest major update for the browser. Version 138.0.3351.55 introduces some interesting changes and new features, such as AI-powered history search. There are also several bug fixes and security patches. For regular users, the biggest and most important change in Edge 138 is AI-powered history search. This feature allows you to find sites in your history using synonyms, phrases, or misspelled words. Microsoft uses an on-device model, which does not send your data anywhere. Note that this feature is rolling out gradually, which means it might take a few days or weeks to show up on your system. Another useful change is new performance notifications. Performance and Extensions Detector notifications may appear in the main menu when the browser detects performance dips to help users learn about available performance-optimization tools. Autofill settings received a new consent toggle, which allows Microsoft to improve the autofill capabilities by collecting field names as you browse. This only applies to field names, such as "First Name, "Email," etc. It does not send the data you enter or autofill to Microsoft. Other changes include the following: Use the Primary work profile as the default profile to open external links. With this feature, for Windows, Edge checks if the Primary Work Profile exists and makes it the default profile for opening external links if available. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat Summarization in Microsoft Edge Context Menu. This feature helps users quickly unpack and ask questions about their open page. Copilot on the Microsoft Edge New Tab Page (NTP). Users may see suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts in their search box on the NTP page. Adding support for viewing Sensitivity labels applied to a Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) Protected PDF. Enterprise customers can view sensitivity labels applied to MIP protected PDF to be well informed of the data classification to enable them to handle such sensitive documents. And here is what was fixed: Fixed an issue that caused WebDriver automation to fail in Microsoft Edge versions 133 and later. Fixed an issue where re-enabled textarea elements remained non-editable. This issue affected activating a role assignment in Privileged Identity Management. Finally, Edge 138 patches six security vulnerabilities, three of which were Microsoft Edge-specific, and the remaining three originated from Chromium. You can find details about those fixes here. The next Microsoft Edge update, version 139, is expected in the week of August 7, 2025.
