Bridge Mode IP Passthrough FWA710

Jim_1954

Hi First of all I have almost zero understanding of Router set up etc. I have a TP link router that is configured for cctv cameras, open ports etc. I have installed an FWA710 which is working fine, I have plugged the Ethernet cable in my laptop LAN port and have great speed and internet. When I plug the it into the router in place of the current internet connection (WAN port) I have no internet at router, red led illuminates. I understand I have to set the FWA up in Bridge mode. Can someone talk me through this in easy steps please.

Many Thanks

Hi @Jim_1954 ,

To complete your setup, please follow these steps:

1. Reset the TP-Link Router
   • Unplug the TP-Link router from the network
   • Reset it to factory defaults (This will ensure it can properly receive the configuration from the FWA710)
2. Configure FWA710 IP Passthrough Mode
   • Connect your PC directly to the FWA710
   • Access the FWA710 management interface
   • Change the mode to IP Passthrough:

3. Connect TP-Link to FWA710
   • Disconnect your PC from the FWA710
   • Connect the TP-Link router to the FWA710
   • Wait for the TP-Link to obtain the IP address passed through from the FWA710
   • Verify that the TP-Link router has an internet connection
