I want to disable the WiFi and router function of my CenturyLink modem/router with an external router. I am currently using a C1000A modem, but I want to test this on my old GT701-WG modem.
Has anyone done this with a GT701-WG configured to use PPP0A or PPPoE? If I enable transparent bridging it looks like router has to do handle the PPP userid and password negotiation. When ordering the router (an ASUS RT-N56U) I assumed that the modem would still do that. What do I have to do to get this to work? (Maybe I'll find out when the router arrives, but I'd rather know ahead of time.)
Edit: Further reading suggests that I need to put my modem in "bridge mode" and have the router do the PPPoA (or PPPoE) authentication. But I don't know how to put my GT701-WG in bridge mode. It has a "RFC1483 Bridged" option, but I get the impression that this is not transparent bridging. (My C1000A does have a "transparent bridging" mode. In fact it has multiple flavors. That may result in future questions.)
How do I put a GT701-WG in transparent bridge mode? I can't find that documented.
