If you prefer using your own external router to the one built into your SmartRG unit, we recommend [[#Routed Operation with separate WiFi Router|routed operation with a separate WiFi Router]]. However if you have networking expertise and are confident using the modem in bridge mode then take note of the following before configuring your SmartRG for Bridged operation:
# Once you complete configuring your SmartRG modem for Bridged operation and disconnect from the modem, the Modem's Web Interface will become inaccessible with Auto DHCP settings on your computer. We recommend: 
#* '''Backup Settings:''' It is particularly important to backup the '''Running Settings''' on your modem before and after you configure it. 
#* '''Manual IP''': Setting a static IPv4 address on your computer, with the gateway IP set to http://192.168.1.1 to regain access to the modem 
#* '''Reset the modem:''' If you need to reset the modem, insert a paper-clip in the '''Reset''' hole on the back. Hold for 10 seconds to reset.
# If you set up the modem for Bridge operation, then your router will need to be configured in PPPoE mode with your DSL username and password.
