Hello!

How do I put the wan port in bridge mode, so that the firewall gets the ip address straight from isp?

    You can change in the braoadband section from Routing to bridge mode if your firmware is not provider restricted and allows this . The rest is to configure your firewall device behind the router to set up the connection .

    Use Cellular IP Passthrough

    note some Cellular providers don't give you the WAN IP and or by CGNAT

    Nearly the same according to this article :

    https://support.zyxel.eu/hc/en-us/articles/360021412820-NR7101-FWA710-How-to-set-bridge-mode-cellular-IP-passthrough

    "Bridge mode is also called cellular IP passthrough on many Zyxel LTE devices. This article will teach us how to set your NR7101 / FWA710 to bridge mode.

    Please note that the default mode will be "Routing Mode / NAT Mode.""
