3rd Party Router with Telus Modem Bridging + Optik TV?
Getting gigabit fibre installed this weekend, but hoping to use our own enterprise-grade networking equipment. My understanding is that the telus modem can be put into bridge mode, but how do I conn...
You will need to connect the TVs to the Telus device, either to LAN 2 to 4 or the Wi-Fi SSID.
NFtoBC This makes sense, but if the Telus modem is in bridge mode, will it still be broadcasting a wireless signal?

Community Power UserYes, bridging port 1 does not affect the function of the rest of the modem.
Question when Telus modem bridged lan1 to lan/wan secondary router (set up as a 192.168.1.1 - 255.255.0.0 )
If you have a power failure will the telus modem resend a new IP address to secondary upon start up?
If so what steps to correct any changing of the secondary router IP address?

It shouldn’t be an issue, but try setting a dedicated IP by MAC address in the Telus router, or see if there is the option to set a static address in the secondary router.
- I believe both have static options. The modem was shut 9ff and when back on secondary router took on a new random IP all connected down now.Would you need static on both probably as it seems the Telus assigns the 192.168.1.64 to port 1 and can be made static. Would this be the secondary router static IP as it would be to nice as was pre shutdown to stay or be 192.168.1.1. Sub 255.255.0.0Thanks,
