Hello 

 

My router supplied with my IPS Talktalk is the Huawei EchoLife DG8041W Home Gateway. I have a TP Link Archer C7 AC1750 which I would like to use as the fully functioning router device in my home network. In order to do this I have been trying to find a way to bypass the existing Huawei router functions - effectively turning it into a modem only. I've come to understand that one way to do this is to put the Huawei device in 'bridge mode'. I have discovered that by going into advanced settings, then 'WAN configuration', then clicking on the connection name (I have only VDSL connection available to me to click on), under 'WAN Mode' there is an option to 'Bridge WAN'. However, when I try this saving this option I get the message "The current service type is not supported in bridge WAN mode".  

 

I suspect that the matter is not helped at by the fact that I cannot find the full user manual for the Huawei device. Unfortunately I'm really not having much luck trying to figure this out. 

 

I'm not entirly sure if this is the correct forum for my query. But any help would be much appreciated nevertheless.

Self connec your modem with a third party router:

===================================

Update your modem to Bridge Mode:

Converting your modem to Bridge Mode for use with a third party networking device like a router requires a system update by a Shaw agent. Use online chat support or contact us so we can help. Read the article What Is Bridge Mode? for more information.

Connect the coaxial cable (TV cable):

Connect the coaxial cable to a wall outlet and to the Cable In port on your modem (marked "A" in the diagram to the left. Hand-tighten the connection.

Connect the power cord:

Connect the modem to a wall outlet using the included power cable (see "B" in the diagram to the left). It may take up to 20 minutes for your modem to register. You'll know that it's registered when the Online light stops flashing.

Connect To Your Router (or similar device):
Connect the included Ethernet cable from one of the available ports on the back of the modem to the Internet port on your 3rd party router (see C in the diagram to the left). With your modem online and connected to your router, you can now follow the specific setup and connection process for your 3rd party device. For more information, refer to the instructions included with your router (or other 3rd party device) or visit the device manufacturer's website.
