Bridging customer owned routers to Telus router/equipment
With reference to this old thread from the Telus com forum: https://forum.telus.com/t5/Home/Bridge-Mode-Using-Your-Own-Router/ta-p/52181#:~:text=What%20Is%20Bridge%20Mode%3F,party%20router%20in%...
But does the NH20A have 2.5G LAN I/O? I don't think it does. In a modem AP config you connect the modem LAN to the AP's WAN? But I was always under the impression that you connected a gateway device to a AP via LAN to LAN. due to the fact that a gateway like the T3200M is a modem and a router, so router to router via LAN-LAN. That's the way I have my AX11000 connected to the T3200 at this moment, in AP mode and all seems well. I always had my WRT32X connected in AP mode to the T3200M, that way also.

Community Power UserLast I heard Telus doesn't use the NH20A on connections of 1Gbps or less. If by some miracle they allowed you to have it, that device would have everything connectd to the NH20A sharing a physical network. Some posts indicate that device currently can't bridge a port. Anything connected to your router would still be a separate network unless it has the ability to act as a wifi access point or an extender. I didn't see anything in the settings for the AX11000 that specifically spelled out that ability. You're over-complicating your network setup.

Yes it does have a 10Gbe WAN I/O.
And you can connect a router to router via LAN-to-LAN or LAN-to-WAN. Your choice.
