Re: Trying to use Bridged 2701HG-B with Apple Time Capsule
Thank you for the tips. I will try that when I get home. But in response to your first comment that I could have just disabled wifi on the 2wire, I was told that just doing that would cause a lot of mixups, because if the 2wire AND the Time Capsule are both in "router mode" (excuse my laymam's terms) then they would both be trying to assign IP's and do whatever routers do, and that would cause a bunch of errors as they would conflict with each other.
And per your suggestion, I will definitely set the Time Capsule up in PPPoE mode, but in the 2wire setup, do I select Direct IP (DHCP or Static) as the FAQ suggests, or should I also select PPPoE as well?
Thanks

| You can only have one device doing the PPPoE and "other" router tasks.
And it's possible to connect the time capsule to a ethernet network that already has internet access,
