I guess you have to work with your ISP to return your router to bridge mode or just go ahead and buy your own compatible cable modem and give them their router back.

I don't know what the downside is about the way it is working now.. able to use either modem or my router for internet simultaneously. But doesn't seem like the way it should be.

I can set the modem to bridge mode myself. But then I am having trouble figuring out how to configure the router, I guess. I have the WAN set for dhcp under Setup/Basic. Then there is the Network Setup where I've probably gone wrong. Right now I just have the local address set to 192.168.1.6, and Gateway 0.0.0.0 and Local DNS 0.0.0.0 and things are working like that with the modem still not set as bridge mode.

On the Status/WAN page, the ip address is 192.168.0.2 and gateway 192.168.0.1, from dhcp off the modem I suppose. DNS is 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, and then a couple ISP DNS servers.

So maybe on that Setup/Wan Setup, if I switch the modem to bridge mode, and still DHCP from modem, the Network Setup would still be the 192.168.1.6 for IP Address, but should the gateway be the 192.168.0.1? Or should I call it 192.168.1.1? I have some confusion there. Now as things are setup, if I do "ip route" on my terminal I get
Code:
default via 192.168.1.6 dev enp2s0 proto dhcp src 192.168.1.111 metric 3
192.168.1.0/24 dev enp2s0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.1.111 metric 3

The router will work as it is. No change needed.

Did the WAN get an address from the modem?

It may be normal that you lose the GUI on the modem when set in bridge mode.

thanks! Yes, the router WAN got the address from the modem.

Maybe I'm all set. Really appreciate the help from you folks.
