Configure as bridge

1. Connect power and turn on the modem with the black button on the back.
2. Connect an Ethernet LAN cable to one of the yellow rear ports
3. In the browser's address bar, enter the IP address for the modem interface page: 192.168.1.1
4. If the modem is fresh from the factory, use the default user name and password to gain access
   1. user: admin
   2. password: admin

If the modem was previously configured for someone, the password would be the previous user's DSL-Password. If it is unknown then do a reset to factory default, using a paper-clip in the reset hole on the back. Hold for 15 seconds to reset. The user name and password will now be as above.

1. Click on Advanced Setup and WAN Service and click on Add
2. The defaults are fine; click on Next.
3. Click on Bridging and ensure the 802.1P and 802.1Q are set to 0 and 35, then click on Next.
4. Click on Apply/Save
5. Done!
