I just replaced my flaky "I'm gonna reboot now because SQUIRREL!" ZyXel modem with a Pace 5268AC. Since I have other boxes to perform all my LAN services, I don't need the modem to do anything other than modem, so I tried to set it to bridge mode, as detailed here:
https://help.sonic.com/hc/en-us/article ... idged_mode
This didn't appear to work (DSL synced, but no traffic was getting through). With the help of Sonic tech support, I eventually used the "LAN Subports" feature, which is basically bridge mode, but only on designated ports:
https://help.sonic.com/hc/en-us/article ... N_Subports
While this works, it's somewhat unsatisfying, and it's also got the modem in a weird state where everything's working fine, but the "Service" LED on the modem is red (although I think I know what that's about).
Does anyone else here have experience with bridge mode on the Pace 5268, what difficulties you may have encountered, and how you addressed them?
