# How do I put my DSL modem into bridge mode?

Bridge mode turns your SmartRG DSL modem into a pass-through device so your own router handles the connection. These steps apply to the SmartRG SR616ac, SR516ac, SR630n, and SR360n.

## Before you start

- **You'll need your PPPoE username and password** — after bridging, your own router makes the connection with these credentials. Contact support to get them before you begin.
- **Home phone warning:** if your phone plugs into the modem's phone ports, contact support before bridging so we can keep your phone service working.
- Bridging disables the modem's WiFi and routing. To undo it later, a factory reset restores the modem — but it will then need to be re-provisioned, so we recommend calling us rather than experimenting.

## Bridge the modem

1. On a device connected to the modem, open a browser and go to **http://192.168.1.1/admin**.
2. Log in with username **admin** and password **ekw7566V**.
3. Click **Advanced Setup** in the left menu.
4. Click **WAN Service**. If anything is listed in the **Wide Area Network (WAN) Service Setup** table, check its **Remove** box and click **Remove**.
5. Click **Layer2 Interface** → **ATM Interface**. Remove anything listed in the **DSL ATM Interface Configuration** table.
6. Click **Add** on the ATM Interface page. Set **VPI** and **VCI** for your region:
   - Ontario / Quebec: **0** and **35**
   - Alberta / BC: **0** and **33**
   - Other provinces: contact support for the correct values.
7. If you see **Path0 (Fast)** and **Path1 (Interleaved)** checkboxes, check both (newer firmware hides these — that's fine). Click **Apply/Save**.
8. Click **PTM Interface**. Remove anything listed, then click **Add**, check Path0/Path1 if shown, and click **Apply/Save**.
9. Click **WAN Service** → **Add**. Select **atm0** from the dropdown → **Next** → choose **Bridging** as the service type → **Next** → **Apply/Save**.
10. Click **Add** again. This time select **ptm0** → **Next** → choose **Bridging**.
11. Set **802.1P Priority** to **0** and **802.1Q VLAN ID** to **35** (same values in every province).
12. Click **Next**, then **Apply/Save**.

## Connect your router

1. Connect your router's **WAN/Internet** port to a LAN port on the modem.
2. In your router's setup, choose **PPPoE** as the internet connection type and enter the PPPoE username and password we gave you.
3. Once the router connects, set up your WiFi name and password in the router.
