Hello, i had to upgrade to the new pk5001z from the R660 not by choice but was forced to by an act of god.
Our phone box got hit by lightning and fried the modem, phone, a switch box, and an ethernet port on the main pc..
Now i have dove into the modem/routers gui and settings.. I have found great setting and it works very well.
But i found out very quickly that this modem/router has a very weak wireless antenna..
It only goes out for about 10 feet give or take a few inches lol..
Anyways i want to hook up my router, but it needs to be bridged and this is setup very different than the r660 was..
Now i was told to put it in transparent mode but when i do that i lose the internet connection..
I was told after that i should connect my router to the modem, and the internet connection should come right back..
Well, i did everything i was told and the router doesn't pick up the connection nor does the modem..
The modem doesn't ever get the signal back until i do a complete factory reset to it..
So i googled and googled trying to find answers because centurylink doesn't help at all..
i found this place and i would like to know the step by step instructions on how to bridge this modem/router to make it where i can use my good router? So i can walk almost a mile down the road and use my internet.
I hope someone is out there that can help me, i know everyone on here went through the same as i am now and figured it out eventually somehow by getting help.
Thanks in advance..
