[Help]Configure Huawei HG630a for bridged mode

[samarth]

Can you help me configure Airtel VDSL Modem in Bridge mode? I want to connect my router and use that for PPPoE authentication.

Take a LAN from Airtel Modem and insert it into the router. 🙂

I don't want to use the airtel provided Huawei HG630a in PPPoE mode. I want to put it in Bridge mode and then use the router to do the PPPoE authentication.

Okay. May I know the reason if you could share bro? Does it give better stability or something?

 

[samarth]

Yes, it gives better stability and more control than using the modem in PPPoE and then router in normal router mode.
I want to choose between Asus RT-AC66U and DSL-AC68U and wanted to save some money.
If I'm not able to figure it out, then I'll probably go for DSL-AC68U.

I don't know if you are right or wrong. But stability depends upon the line/backend as well. Which ISP do you use and Which state?

Where are you going to buy it from?

@akapur Can you share how come it would improve the stability and performance of the VDSL/ADSL if we use Bridge Mode?

Thanks 🙂

 

[akapur]

I'm not sure if it will improve the stability but performance, probably will.

Bridge mode passes along all NAT and routing functions to your own router which will get the public IP. The provided airtel router when put into bridge mode acts as a pure modem.

That's pretty much it.

I want to bridge the TP-Link TD W 8968 to the Huawei. I have tried but somehow does not work.

Any help would be appreciated. Also, how do you check if the bridge is working fine.

 

[Karan]

To check if your modem is bridged properly, plug in your router setup with PPPoE, it should connect, the modem will plug into the router's WAN/Internet port. Alternately you could connect your modem directly to your PC/Laptop and setup a PPPoE/Broadband dialer and if that connects then your modem is bridged correctly.

 

[Pankaj Singhal]

I am doing both wirelessly. I need to extend the range.

 

[Karan]

OK, so you are trying to use your TP-Link as a range extender and want to setup that? If yes, unless you have DD-WRT or another custom firmware, you are out of luck, the stock firmware will not support this. Since this TP-Link is a modem router combo, I doubt you will find any custom firmware that would support it.

 

[Pankaj Singhal]

It has bridging mode. Almost working, some minor issues.

Please explain what is your current setup and what are these issues you mention,
