Please can any one let me know how to set up the modem in "bridge" mode, that is, disable its router function and connect it to a router.

just install it like a modem and connect it to your router. You will need your modem password from your ISP company.

Need to elaborate a little bit. I can only assume that you have Ethernet cable, usually call Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. If yes, you shouldn't have any problems connecting this and make it as a bridge wifi router, I assumed? if not, this device won't do any good for your need until you rewired with the right type of cable + connector.

Hi, Chris. If you want to set the Linksys WAP300N to Wireless Bridge mode, it needs to be hardwired to the main router. For more info, you may visit this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=d93bd52fd09f4f71974d4c35638636f4_Setting_the_Linksys_WAP300N_to_Wireless_Bridge_Mode.xml&pid=80&respid=0&snid=6&dispid=0&cpage=search

You can use the modem as a cable modem only but I know of no way you can turn the Wi Fi off. You can use only the cable modem and not have a device connected to the WiFi. I have no idea if you can run another router off this modem. Why would you want to? This is a relatively expensive device and it is expensive because it is both a modem and a router. You would be much better off financially to buy a less expensive modem that is only a modem and buy the router and you would end up with only what you need and there would me no compatibility problems.

Hi Andrew. If your modem has wireless capability, then you may let the wireless adapter ( Belkin N600) connect to its network wirelessly. No need for another router if you already have one.

You cannot use this directly between your modem and your other devices (guessing that is how you hooked it up) you must use a router in between so it would be Modem -> Router -> Switch. Hooked together in that order.

The stock firmware did have a bridge mode, and if you google "bridge mode on asus rt-n16" the first link shows you how to set it up. However I would firmly recomend DD-WRT if you feel up to the task of installing it.

Hi there I could not get my Belkin to work. My problem was trying to connect it to a replacement main modem. I tried following all of the instructions I could find and nothing worked so I finally gave up and bought a Netgear modem. The Netgear modem works fine. I'm trying to find someone who perhaps is more computer savvy than me that I can give the Belken to. sorry I can't be more help

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

You can read my review, but basically the best thing to do is use this device in invisible bridged mode. If you know any techy people they can set this up for you. Then after you have it in that mode, you plug an Ethernet cable into one of the ports (not WAN). Plug the other end into the WAN port on ANY ROUTER THAT HAS A WAN PORT. Get one that has wireless capabilities (obviously), brand makes no difference, just get something relatively new. Then all you need is your techy person to configure the router PPPoE settings with your username and password that your ISP gave you. Essentially what you are doing is only using your modem to go from the small phone jack plug (analog) to the bigger 8 wire Ethernet cable (digital) that all your computers use if wired in. Have the Techy person set up your wireless with a password, use WPA2/psk for best results. Also make sure you get a wireless N router since they are the best price for performance until AC comes down in price. Good luck and cheers! (btw Netgear is kinda lame)

If you are talking about AT&T; DSL then your answer is yes. You will want to put the modem in pass through mode which your ISP can help you with. I have had very good luck with this router. You may need to power cycle it once in a while. That is fairly normal for most home routers/access points in my experience.

Don't use the reset button. That will reset all the router's settings to default. There is not power button. Disconnect the power and reconnect.

The TG852 version I bought did not have a built in router. Where the modem is located is not good for a router signal. Someday I will connect a separate router located in a good location to the modem with a wire.

When I tried it, the device did not want to connect with my Comcast connection. I was told you need to call and have someone come and allow your modem to connect with Comcast. Sounds like a hassle so I never got around to it yet.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure about finding the router's advanced settings since it was given to us by the phone company. There's no software or anything. I guess I could call Verizon for help if I can't find where to enter the PIN. I'll also give the unit some time to connect. Thanks for your input.

very involved answer. I don't recall if the DSL modem defaults to 192.168.1.1 or what. The bottom line is you have to put the DSL modem on it's own subnet (192.168.1.1) and the router on another subnet (192.168.2.1) or vice versus. The router should find the DSL modem as a device and configure itself accordingly...to get to the internet. I tried this DSL modem and it failed on me several times in a week of use. So I sent it back. Even tried two of them - same results.
