Kind of, yes. The router would act as PPPoE client. The server is in BSNL. The client has to authenticate with server in order to establish connection to internet. The server sends a public IP once the authentication is successful. D-Link 2750u would act only as a modem.

I haven't got a chance to try ipv6, as BSNL still uses only ipv4.



@varkey explained it much better than what I'd have explained myself.

Anyway, I am basically a village guy. With the reduction in tariff in BSNL, I wanted to have two BSNL connections. One at home and another at my wife's place where I visit often these days. I don't want to take my whole PC setup when I visit the other village. Also, I want the other PC to get connected whenever I am at home, so that I can make use of computers and devices at both villages.

This kind of setup has been working well already between my home and my work place (which is far from my home). So, I've sent disconnection request at work. I was using Airtel at work. I can use wake-on-lan whenever I start my day and the work PC has auto-shutdown script to shut it off, if I forget to do so manually. I can control my connected devices too (a raspberry pi, a camera, etc) when I have VPN working. Without bridge mode, VPN is pain to setup. Wake-on-lan, VPN, email notifications, etc, all can be done using Mikrotik router that needs a NAT-free direct connection to internet in order to work without bugs.

@vignesh_venkatesan I sent you a PM requesting model/modem details. Thanks for the heads-up.

@ajgamer 😀 On a serious note... I work mostly for individuals as a freelancer. However, I might be on the look-out due to what I did in the past. Search for "pothi kalimuthu savukku" in your favorite search engine, when you get a chance. That was years ago.

Any recommendation for an ADSL modem with support for bridge mode?

I don't need or care about any wifi capabilities, as I have a dedicated router to fit my needs. Just looking for a modem with support for bridge mode.

Update: I don't mind purchasing a WiFi / router model, as long as it supports bridge mode.

Thanks in advance.

@aniladivishnu.2000 Only, after seeing your post, I remembered that I already have/own it. Haha. Thanks, anyway. I wouldn't have known without seeing your post.

@AgentX Emulator is nice.
 

My current Belkin modem seems to suffer from bufferbloat. Tested 8817. The browsing is much more smoother especially when multitasking. I wish I knew about bufferbloat earlier.
