Arcadyan NH20A Class A Subnet Mask on LAN Port
I'm trying to set my Arcadyan NH20A LAN IP Address to 10.0.0.1 with a Class A subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. I can't because the first 3 octets of the subnet mask are greyed out. What's the trick to...

Ok, lets try this to see how it works for you... Indeed I am referring to the TELUS device as the device.
Now here is where the complication may come into the picture. TELUS has 2 very similar devices that they refer to as NH20A. First one is a Technicolor FXA500 and then the other is the Arcadyan NH20A
You need to make sure which one you have.
Instructions for the Technicolor FXA500.
To get to the setting that will allow you to change the modem into bridged mode go to the following settings.
Settings - Broadband Icon - Local Port Mode.
And the Arcadyan NH20A
Network - LAN -Bridge
I would set the bridge to use the 10Gbps port myself as that will support everything from 1Gbps to 10Gbps out to your 3rd party router where you can set all your network settings.
Hope this helps... Cheers...

Ahah! Thank you for this clarification. For some reason, I was not seeing that the LAN tab had a submenu, that has the bridge choice on it.

If I do this, it warns that Optik TV will not work. You mention earlier that if the Optik TV devices are connected to the MoCA port, they will. How about if I put the Optik TV boxes behind my router and open up the ports they need?
Or if I put them on a switch between the Arcadyan NH20A and my router? Perhaps there's already a thread that covers putting the Optik TV boxes behind your own router in detail that you could point me to.
Again, thank you for your help!

Ok, I have to admit this is the area that I have the least experience in. I don't have Optik TV, never have. I utilize a 3rd party IPTV service that just works with the configurations that I have with my TELUS feed, and continue to work when I make silly changes.
I might suggest that it may be time for some experimentation with the Optik TV feed. The worst that can happen is you have to reset the router to factory and configure it all again...
