  • Last modified date: Fri Apr 11 11:21 2008

Use the following steps to configure the Zyxel P-660R-D1 for bridge mode.

Introduction

Use the following steps to configure the Zyxel P-660R-D1 for bridge mode. It allows for the use of a router to authenticate via PPPoE, while disabling it in the Zyxel modem. This way multiple computers can share the service. Always configure the device directly first with a single computer before adding a router, see Zyxel P-660R-D1 - How to Set the Modem for PPPoE Mode . Once completed , you may bridge the modem and then add your configured router. If you need assistance with setting up the router, contact your manufacturer or use our EarthLink Home Networking service.

  3. The DSL modem/router is currently using the default password. To protect your network from unauthorized users we suggest you change your password at this time. Please select a new password that will be easy to remember yet difficult for others to guess. We suggest you combine text with numbers to make it more difficult for an intruder to guess. Enter your new password in the two fields below and click Apply. Otherwise click Ignore to keep the default password.
