Hi, I recently joined Now Tv and in the past I've always been used to just go with ISP Modem/Routers. At the moment I just want to have a bit more control over my network so I after quite a bit of reading I've got my hands on an HG612 3B that I've successfully flashed with webgui (thanks to the great guide on this forum) just to be overwhelmed by the options I have in front of me on "Basic" and "Advanced" tabs.
I'm going one step at a time, so now I'm onto HG612 webgui settings. Basically it will act as bridge for my linksys.
My first question is, how do I set it to bridge mode ? Or is it something that will happen automatically as soon as I plug Lan1 to wan port on the router ?
2. My service is FTTC. What are the optimal settings for my Modem on "Basic" and "advanced" tabs ? I would like to cover all of them and leave nothing to chance of what the modem preset options at.
Basic
DSL
ATM
PTM
WAN
LAN
Advanced
ROUTING
FIREWALL
NAT
IGMP
QOS (my router has this feature, should this still be on ?)
SNTP
CWMP
UPNP
I'm probably just being a nuisance and overthinking this way too much. Please bear with me. Thank you
