It may be possible to configure the router so that it acts as a bridge and not a router.

There are two methods, both submitted by customers, and are not supported by AAISP, we would only suggest you use this if you're sure you know what you're doing!

We would recommend a ZyXEL P660-D1 or a Dlink if you are looking for a bridge device, this are available to purchase from Sales.

We cannot support this if you break it, sorry.

Method One (config file)

Notes from the customer:

It doesn't seem possible to make it work without two internet connections being configured, even though 'Internet2' is disconnected. I removed it's config and restored, and the ethernet ports didn't want to come up!

I essentially took a config I found for the BE 'bebox' and merged sections with the default config that come with the router. I am sure it could be made cleaner, and it could be possible to rid the 'Internet2' and still have it work.

Config file: File:AA TG582n Bridge config.ini.zip.zip

Method Two (Manual configuration steps)

Another Customer entry:

To put the router into proper bridge mode, telnet in and enter these commands
