Go to “Setup” and “ADSL Setup” and there tick “Manual Setup”. Then tick “Bridge Mode”. The “Connection Type” should show “1483 Bridged IP LLC". See also article at [http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/faq/modems/dsl-modems/dsl_320b/how-to-setup-dsl-320b-revision-z1-in-bridge-mode bridge mode setup article at Dlink website].
 
Note<i>Performance tip</i>: the leaner PPPoEoEoA + RFC2684 [obsoletes RFC1483] section 6.2 + <b>VC-MUX</b> header option (“bridged PDUs: VC-MUX”) is always <em>more efficient</em> than or the same as the alternative “LLC” header option. Choose 1483 Bridged VC-MUX aka PPPoE VC-MUX in preference to LLC if your exchange supports it, for example if you are using a BT 21CN line or a TalkTalk line. If unsure, use PPPoE / 1483 Bridged IP VC-MUX if there are no problems, otherwise ask AA support. The actual effective speed improvement depends on the length of the packets being sent (because of the absorbing effect of ATM cell padding) and for some packet lengths the performance gain is zero.
 
Following this you will then also need to make the configuration changes described in the previous section.
