[[IPv6|IPV6]] not tested with the above setup although, in theory, it should work as all the above is, is a clean bridging setup.

I have recently migrated from BE and their router had a 'half-bridge' mode where the router would only use the dhcp allocated WAN IP address and route the allocated subnet onwards.
I am investigating this setup on the [[TG582N]]. Main advantage is that you can then still easily access the router.

Got to Main TG582N Page

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

This information is from a customer, and is 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.

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.

IPV6 not tested with the above setup although, in theory, it should work as all the above is, is a clean bridging setup.

I have recently migrated from BE and their router had a 'half-bridge' mode where the router would only use the dhcp allocated WAN IP address and route the allocated subnet onwards. I am investigating this setup on the TG582N. Main advantage is that you can then still easily access the router.
