bridge mode or directly or router?

[Hery]

I have a dsl service what is the difference if I connect via bridge or router directly?

bridge mode:

- Turns off the modems firewall

- Turns off the modems DHCP server

 

These are important because if you move everything to the netduma you want it to be doing the above.

Also just to add it stops behaing as a router, the network layer and above are bypassed. So it behaves like a smart repeater. I would recommend doing so

so you disable on the modem not the setting on the netduma? i'm talking about the ipv6 firewall  Cheers!

I think OP has a router/modem combo that go into pure "modem mode/bridege mode" that is preferred if you can do it.
