Hello, I have a few questions related to Bridge mode: I have internet from UPC optical fiber and I changed the router to TP link Archer ax55 and unfortunately the router does not work because it must be from the operator, in this case upc connect box. Currently, I have the Internet that goes...

Bridge mode makes the device transparent to the network (as if it were not there) and the entire authorization process takes place on the next device. Therefore, the IP address of the provider's router will appear on the second (next) device. The answer is not so obvious, but it should be answered: no. However, due to the previous question (bridge mode), the operator's device will not be visible in the network - it will look as if only a friend's router is in the network, and that's probably the point. Unfortunately, there will still have to be two devices, although it will not be visible from the operator. Before your colleague asks you to enable the bridge, it is good to find out how your colleague's router will authenticate itself (DHCP, PPPoE, mac-address ...). With this information, you need to check whether your colleague's router has the appropriate options.

I mean what exactly? - because today, whoever gives 1m of optical fiber anywhere, claims that it is fiber optic internet. So what exactly is this offer and what exactly is the equipment there? (the equipment has markings on the sticker, its name is there).

Bridge turns on by itself in the modem settings.

Thanks for the clarification, I've been waiting for a reply like this.

Hello, I have a few questions related to Bridge mode:
I have internet from UPC optical fiber and I changed the router to TP link Archer ax55 and unfortunately the router does not work because it must be from the operator, in this case upc connect box.
Currently, I have the Internet that goes from the amplifier to the Router upc connect box works and the ethernt cable from lan 1 goes to the wps of the Archer ax55 router and that's how my wifi works.
1. Will Bridge Mode allow me to operate only 1 router and be able to disconnect from the operator.
2. How Bridge mode works.
3. Because I will have to call the helpline to turn on the Bridge mode and how will I have to have it connected to work well for me
Thanks in advance for your help.
