Bridge Mode/ R3


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to set up Bridge mode via my isp and R3. 

I have the option on my ISP for Bridge mode and have selected it. 

 

After turning off and on both the modem and router I get access to Internet via WIFI but not via ethernet which my pc is connected with. 

I also can't access the duma application.

Is there something I'm missing in the process? 

Basically I'm trying to get OPEN NAT type which I had before with DMZ method but this no longer is working for some reason.( currently on moderate)

If I turn on my xbox which is connected via WiFi its showing open nat , but I can't get Internet on ethernet and I play cod on my PC. 

 

Any help or tips would be great. I've searched the forum but can't seem to figure it out. Is there anything  need to do on the R3 ?

 

Thanks all

 

* edit I'm now no longer getting WiFi access for xbox. It just says LAN not set up , experiencing issues. I am however still getting access to WiFi on my phone via netduma and strangely also via my isp modem. I can't access either the modem or netduma. I can reset the modem though but I'll be back to moderate

If you unplug the R3 from the modem and then try to access the R3 can you access then? If so I'm not sure what has happened but does sound like the bridge mode is preventing access for some reason. I'd suggest just doing the DMZ mode really - they both perform the same function essentially

Thanks Fraser. 

I tried one last time with some success.

1.Reset modem

2.Factory reset of R3 , then done the set up , set up smart boost , set up geo fence but with no filtering selected .

4.Back into the ISP Modem and turned on bridge mode again.

5.Refreshed 

6.Went into duma os and rebooted from Web page.

 

I've now got modem successfully in bridge mode, access to ethernet and WiFi.

My pc is still showing as moderate NAT when loaded into COD, XBOX is showing as OPEN NAT. 

Anything else I could try to get open NAT on my PC ?

Thanks

That's great to hear. If the console is showing as having an Open NAT then you will have an Open NAT overall - the device can't have an Open NAT but the game have moderate for example, it doesn't work that way, it will be a misreading

Thanks, that's good to hear.

I play on my pc but also have an xbox. Xbox showing as open NAT over WiFi but PC showing as moderate over ethernet for COD. 

I didn't have the xbox set up at all on the duma so I've deleted the no filtering for my pc and will report back if that makes it Open too. Hopefully it's open now anyway and a misread as u said

so bridge mode is better tho correct? If so why?

Passes all traffic through to the router and not other devices can use it to connect to the internet so you'd have to force them to use the router instead
