Re: [DSL] 1 Static + 5 Static IP Addresses

To not know that you can't get bridge mode on the Sagecom modem, wouldn't be something expected.

I expect when given a PPPoE login, I wouldn't be forced (without extreme measures) into not using my own router to login.

To be fair, it's also not impossible to get bridge mode on the Sagemcom. It's just a bit more complicated than it should be. All the information on how to do it is right in the thread on the first page of this forum.

Well, not quite. If you don't need perfection, Sagemcom's PPPoE pass-through does work. If you're not picky about needing "real" bridge mode (or using > 35 Mbps), it's quite easy to use your own router. I'd argue it's even easier than other modems where you have to manually set it to bridge mode, since PPPoE pass-through works without needing to set anything.

Yes, that is what I was refering to as extreme measures

I think it was just bumped to the top, but I don't see it on the first page normally.
