If this is it, it has the necessary bridge mode setting available to enable your UDM Pro to work effectively behind another router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going to ask them to put it in bridge mode. Was pretty straightforward on my previous ISPs router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty straightforward on my previous ISPs router. It's normally straight forward. I dont know that router nor have read the manual but sometimes you may have to register the MAC address of your new router into the ISP router. In the end, you want the ISP WAN IP to pass through to your UDM-Pro as if it was connected without the ISP router in the middle. So on your UDM-P screen, you will see the WAN IP to verify if setup correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdougray Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Not that I’m having any problems with my system but after watching a load of threads unfold i decided to upgrade my router. So I went and asked the company who manages all our company’s IT to get me a price on a Draytex Vigor 2862, he asked me what I wanted it for and then proceeded to tell me that I would be wasting my money because my switches deal with everything on my lan and nothing to do with the router. I just wanted someone on here to explain why it’s essential to move away from an isp router if it’s only used as a bridge to the switch? Bit confused and would love to set him straight on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit confused and would love to set him straight on Monday ISP routers are garbage, aimed at making tons of money of rental to you, they used the cheapest ever, weak points: - Bad security and weak firewall - Limited DHCP functionality - Hackable devices, hardwired passwords! You use these only to pass Internet connectivity to your firewall or your home gateway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit confused and would love to set him straight on Monday The typical ISP router uses the basic processing on their router to get by. So they may not be able to move packets at line speeds when you turn on features - especially security related, NAT/PAT, then add DHCP, etc etc. If you have a cable connection, you might be stuck with it to change from COAX to Ethernet, thus it's advised to use in bridge mode and add your own router. If you have FIOS, you can remove it (assume no TV to keep discussion simple). tdougray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
