Re: [BC] Bridge Mode for Actiontec V2000 said by jtl999:Would be possible without alot of terminal commands and stuff. What's wrong with disabling TR-69?
1. What is Tr-69. I have read it may or may not be how the modem gets updated.
2. If it is the control point to not having the modem get automatically updated, how do we turn it off. There is no Enable / Disable button. It's what I listed above.
I have read other people disabling TR-69 but have yet to find any instructions on how to do it. Again, which was why I posted the above.
Symtex, you there bud?
This is unbelievable how Telus technology cannot give out a bridged modem without breaking their OPTIK TV. It's not 1999 anymore. A home network is common. Guess Telus is still telling us what we need and what we don't. |

Change the values to garbage if you can. Save. Replug modem. Google will help. Off to bed soon. |

| ok, I changed the IP address inside TR-69 and the ACS_PeriodicInformEnable: 1 to ACS_PeriodicInformEnable: 0.
I think this should do it.
So, I am lucky that we do not have Optik TV. If I wanted to run the Actiontec V2000H + my own router in 192.168.1.1 + Optik TV, I think I can do this right?
- Disable DHCP and disable NAT on my own router.
- continue to use 192.168.1.1 on the current router but use the Actiontec V2000H as DHCP server (along with NAT) and have it dish out IP's, port forward and run firewall?
This should work right? |

Plus a few other posts on here. Sometimes its real easy with just a couple of clicks(modern router firmwares) and other times its a real pain.
Any good open source Linux firmware in your own powerful router can handle IGMP to keep the packets off of your computer network and send the IPTV packets to only the set-top boxes.
....I don't have IPTV...
Bridge mode and Optik TV.

The particular picture shows using the Actiontec as the connection point for your 1 TV box. You could add a network switch for more boxes. It is possible to use your router as the connection point instead.

The IP tables may just be a one click button of enabling IGMP to avoid messing up settings.
More explanations.

| Thanks humanfilth. You know, this sure is a difficult way for a Telus customer to try and fit this darn gateway into a current system. From what I can gather, it's either this way or the highway with Telus.
There must be an easier way for users to easily add the Actiontec V2000H into a current system that is already running 192.168.1.1. I just haven't had time to test it yet. And when I mean add, I mean not having to bridge the sucker to get it work properly.
With root access, looks like the unit has QoS, port forwarding, DHCP and even a wireless router if anyone wants to use it.
Is the Wireless really that bad on this unit? The rest of the software and hardware looks pretty good no? |
