That is, until I recently switched of everything at the mains and ever since, I haven´t managed to get it working again. :-( Unfortunately, I cannot contact the person who installed it and that is why I hoped and still hope for some help from you guys.

The Bridge mode is actually so you can use the Inbuilt DSL modem to simply pass traffic to devices connected to the speedtouch without doing any NAT or routing.etc

It is designed for users who have multiple external IP's and simply want the speedtouch to function as A modem/gateway and not do any routing however it Still needs DSL service to work.

You will need a cable/dsl router with an rj45 WAN port for connecting to the cable modem I personally like the linksys wrt54GL due to number of 3rd party firmwares available for it that Add some pretty nifty features.


I'm actually using the speedtouch 585v6 in Bridge mode connected to above mentioned Linksys as I'm on Adsl.
