Cannot Bypass ISP Router

[bayleeshymko]

Starting a new thread to see what ideas we can build here so i can keep this R3. Currently we have tried bridging the ONT/Modem, DMZ the router in the modem, everything doesnt let me bypass what the ISP has. I'm curious to know if i should buy a SFP Module Media Converter and take the fibre out of the ONT/Modem and use a Module and connect the R3 Ddirectly to that??

If anyone has any ideas please let me know your thoughts!

You don't have to bypass the ONT/modem, this is the normal setup for most people

As I said in your other thread, I would highly recommend calling your ISP and asking them to verify the bridge mode was done correctly. If anything, have them reset your equipment to stock settings and then do the bridge and verify which port your R3 needs to go into. I would also make sure it isn't like AT&T with their IP Passthrough where you need to set the MAC of the device to clone to or takeover routing. What @Netduma Fraser said is true, anytime you go through a router you're going to lose some speed, especially devices that aren't super beefy like Prosumer equipment. I would also run a download with your console or pc and see if you hit higher than the speed tests are showing as then you would test against a CDN which would saturate your connection.
