Can I activate and use Bridge mode on Vodafone Station?

[ethernall]

My Vodafone Station is the following:

Firmware version: AR01.04.046.25_091322_7244.SIP.10.X1

Hardware Type & Version: 7

I have IPv4 activated (Power Upload).

Will Bridge mode work if activated?

Thanks in advance!

So, some update after some experimentation - the Bridge Mode works BUT ONLY when I have my PC directly connected... does not work when I have my ASUS router connected instead 😞

For the PC it gives an IP of range 78.42.249.x/255.255.254.0 and works without issue.

For the router it gives completely different IP: 176.198.247.x and no internet.

How to resolve that?

Then something is off with the configuration of your Asus router.

Tried to reset the Asus? - Which one?

Often you need to restart Vodafone-Station and Router after you changed Vodafone-Station in Bridgemode

activate DHCP Option 60 on your Asus Router

Hello again and thanks a lot for the fast response! Problem is solved! It was indeed the DHCP Option 60 [facepalm]. I entered smth there and set IAID/DUID checkbox (just in case) and voila - after enabling bridge mode again, and waiting a little bit (first thought it is the same story as it gave me same WAN IP) this time it works 🙂 I hope it is stable. Thanks once again!
