  • True bridge mode, the best bridge mode router setup on your ISP gateway modem router. Here's how I did it...There are several ways to set up "Bridge Mode" on your ISP gateway - but very few people know this method... This Bridge Mode essentially turns your ISP internet router gateway into an enterprise-like modem
    the context of this video is for educational purposes and how changing certain settings on your internet provider gateway can help you use your own router with less issues!

    This is cool, I think since you’re having success with your setup it would be cool to see how you have your Pace configured as far as all of the settings are concerned internally. Not just specially the “modem only” mode. I have issues with ATT dropping my signal completely at times, I have a Nighthawk AX12 sitting behind my Pace 5286 and the WiFi improvement is 1000% better but my fiber 1Gb connection is still wonky at times even though any time I do a true Speedtest from the modem I’m getting around 980-995Mbps at all times ...

  • @JohnGlasscock
    @JohnGlasscock  Před 5 lety +49

    There are many "bridge mode" router setups that i've tested and this is by far the best and closest you can get to true bridge mode. Unfortunately, it is not free. But, it turns your ISP gateway into an enterprise modem capable of assigning more than just one public IP - which is awesome. I'm very happy with this setup.

    John, do you think there are hidden settings that get activated/turned off on the att backend when you get a static ip vs the dynamic one? From what I see, the static is very similar to the dmz+ mode, but I’ve tried that and some devices go through and others like my tv and ring alarm do not, I finally set it up as just two separate network ranges and limited the att router to 1 address range and seems to be working for me, but was just curious if everything that wasn’t working for you on the dmz method is working for you on this way of doing it? Just debating to opt for the 15$ to find out it still works flaky, no guarantee, just looking for your experience with both methods. I’ve watched your other videos so I take it this way is actually working for you...

    Got a question John. Wanting to know if this will solve my problem. Sounds like it will. Great video and thank you.
    Quick summary: purchased an asus router that would allow me to connect my vpn service on it. Trouble now is that I have a double nat on Xbox. ISP router doesn’t have bridge mode. I have tried passthrough but that doesn’t fix it either. Aftermarket modems cannot be used with the isp and the isp does not offer any simple modems without router capabilities. So if I call them back and am able to purchase another static ip from them (or five 🙄) should that solve my issue as far as you know?

  • @pocketknifeMT
    @pocketknifeMT Před 4 lety +3

    Most ISPs will not lease you a static IP anymore unless you have a business account (we kinda ran out of IPv4 addresses a long time ago), FYI for anyone out there looking to do this. I only have a static at home because I got it 15ish years ago.

    As long as the "IP Passthrough" function that is available on some of the ATT Gateways shows successful trace routing over IPv4 and IPv6, wouldn't that method be sufficient?

    Thanks. I also have ATT and just ordered the 8 (5 usable) static IPs for an additional $15. I have their fiber 1,000 connection. Does this mean each wan port gets 1,000/1,000 or are they split up? five one-gigabit connections--that would be too good for +$15

      I haven't done this (I may in the future), so you'll need to read the Help text off to the right side:
      1) Look under "Home Network", "Subnets & DHCP", 1/2 way down, "Public Subnet".
      2) Then also check "Firewall", IP Passthrough", 1st option "Allocation Mode"=Off. Change it to "Passthrough". Change other settings on the page as required.
      3) Under "Firewall", check "Public Subnet Hosts". This will not display options until "Public Subnet" is turned ON, so I can't tell what this will do.
      This is all more complicated than in this video, but looks a lot more robust - more feature rich. Good luck. If you get it working, please document for the rest of us.

A Cox representative bragged about something called "Beacon"; built into the newer Panoramic wifi modem/router. She said it eventually detects your 3rd party router and blocks it on your network. Is there a way to disable something like that; so we are able to still use gigablast internet? Even when I had their 300 mbps service, my router surpassed 300mbps on speed tests. Now. I am hitting 800+ out of 1000mbps (I'm not complaining about that speed. But I miss using the MU MIMO protocol for our household's barrage of devices.

The Netgear S8000 is connected to my Modem (Fritzbox 7490 or whatever is it called). My first 2 to 3 games are fine, hit registration great, no problems. The Point is after those 2 to 3 games I have the feeling being always behind my enemies. Dying to quickly, getting barely kills, my aim seems to be completely off etc. This should not happen in my opinion. I have a gaming router after all which was not that cheap. Ok, I have no XR500 but still. My question is, how about buying a gaming Modem? Like Netgear CM600, Netgear Nighthawk X4S Modem/Router Combo, ASUS AC2600 Modem/Router Combo etc... Would this reduce my "bad online Experience" (lag compensation, getting always a first shot and then simply die...) ? By the way my Internet is not that bad. I have 100 down and 12 up.

    Hey John Thank you for making this video. I cannot find a single video on the internet taking about this kind of bridge setup. however im still confused I actually want my isp gateway (router and modem combo) to act as a modem and then connect a router to it and assign a static public ip to that router. basically all the routing would be carried out by that router. can anyone guide me and tell me what to do

    • @cjc9719
      @cjc9719 Před 5 měsíci

      Exactly right. You are basically replacing the ISP gateway's router function with your own third party router; leaving the gateway to function as a modem only. To do so, you must put the ISP gateway/router into bridge mode. The method outlined in this video is one way to do this. You turn off the WI-FI function on the gateway, eliminating it as a wireless router and making sure it can only be connected to downstream devices through its LAN ethernet ports. Then, connect your 3rd party router into one of the gateway's LAN ports. Make sure that the router is the ONLY DEVICE connected to the gateway (by turning off the gateway's WI-FI and leaving all other LAN ports empty). Thus, the gateway's wireless and wired routing functions are bypassed, having only the single device (the router) to rout to. Then by telling the gateway to assign the public (static) IP's through its DHCP, your router will be the only device assigned a WAN IP which gives the router a direct internet connection and will not conflict with the LAN IP's it, in turn, assigns to all downstream devices. Your 3rd party router is now solely responsible for wireless and wired routing to, from. and among all other devices; after using its own DHCP to assign a LAN IP to each of them (as all other devices are connected to it, the router, NOT the gateway). The router will have it's own firewall and security features so the gateway's firewall should be turned off to avoid conflicts.
      I hope this helps and didn't just confuse you more. Good luck.
      It probably is not necessary, however it might be a good idea to set the gateway's DHCP Lease Time to infinite, in order to avoid the future possibility that the gateway might reassign the router's WAN IP to one of the other 5 you are leasing from the ISP. This would depend on the brand of gateway and would of course not be necessary if using the second option he mentioned regarding manually assigning the Router's WAN IP.

Is there a way to keep these seperate without bridging? because as i said before.. bridging shuts down all internet and we can't access it until we call xfinity and have them turn off bridge mode.

I have to be careful with mine though, if I plug in a new router or device directly, I have to clone the MAC address that I was just using on old router otherwise I can lose my connection or lease and end up having to call tech support (not 24 hour) to fix it.
