(Added static route info in 'Accessing the Modem', based on actual experience.) |

This will put the FB on 192.168.1.1, and allow the FB to route IP packets from your LAN interface *to* the Modem on the WAN interface. However, at this stage, you may find the modem does not have a *return* route to your LAN addresses, so no packets return. You'll be unable to ping the modem yet. We need to set a static route on the modem, pointing back to the FB.
For example, on the ZyXel P-660R, you will have configured the IP and Netmask on the 'LAN' tab. But there's no 'Gateway', so we must go to 'Advanced' -> 'Static Routes' tab, and create one. Enter it as follows: IP, Mask = base address of your internal LAN; eg: 81.xx.xx.0, 255.255.255.192. The 'Gateway' address is pointing back at the FB, eg 192.168.1.1. Check the box to Activate the route, hit the 'Apply' button, and that's it done.
Now, the assuming the Modem is on 192.168.1.2, you'll be able to access it from the LAN side of the FireBrick.
