How to disable the router part of my ISP's router/modem?

I wanna use my ISP's router/modem as just a modem, and then let my own router be the DHCP server. Basically disabling the router part :)

ISP router/modem: Thomson TWG-870 My own router: AirPort Extreme

ip isp wlan apple dhcp wifi connection ipadress airport internet router modem adress extreme

0	What I did on mine was go to 192.168.2.2/192.168.2.1 and set it to "Bridge mode". Turns it into a modem ONLY. answered Sep 17 '11 at 18:09 guineaphinea 271●23●26●35

it depends on the router.

if it allows a transparent bridge mode then it will work but other than that theres nothing you can really do to avoid a double NAT which will have a negative impact on network performance.

If you have a decent router then check if you can get a standalone modem

I had the exact same problem a while ago. You need to have the modem in Bridge mode. Check your modem's settings and see if you can change it. For me, I couldn't change it, so I got in touch with my ISP on Twitter (Time Warner) and they were able to change it (after escalating support and having to call me).
