So I’ve got a modem + router from Vodafone (see attached image) and I connected to it the other day to see if I could disable the routing and it doesn’t look like I can. That’s annoying.
so it’s set to do DHCP at 192.168.0.0-255
there’s a cable from it to a layer 2 switch that connects to the rest of the cat5 jacks in the apartment from which my ASUS Wi-Fi router connects.
I guess I could turn my ASUS WiFi router’s DHCP off and just have it do Wi-Fi as it’s currently serving another range 192.168.1.1-255
The hope was to turn the modem into bridged mode and use a pfsense box for my firewall and routing but it looks like I’ll have to do all of that on the modem/router and turn the ASUS’s smarts off and just have it do WIFi but how? Is that possible if the ASUS doesn’t do DHCP and routing etc? Is there a way to simplify this setup? I’m open to using a cloud vps if I need to

I could turn off NAT on the ASUS it seems — just not sure what that would do
