the Dovado Router.
Bridge Mode* (NAT disabled)
Bridge Mode will disable the NAT/routing functionality and allow you to connect any device to the
router's LAN port or WLAN interface. The device you connect to the router will get its IP address
directly from the mobile network.
In this mode, the router will be transformed into a converter between USB and LAN or WLAN. As it
will no longer retain any functionality dependent on IP, certain features such as Connection
Tracker, PPTP VPN and E-Mail Notifications will not be operational during use of Bridge Mode.
*Please check
To alter your router into a bridge, go to the Internet->Internet Connection page within the router
menu, and select either of two Bridge Modes. If you are not planning on using any specific WLAN
client, then use the "Bridging USB with LAN" option in order to avoid any associated issues that
may arise later on. Once the Bridge Mode has been applied, saved and restarted; the router will
indicate "CONNECTION: BRIDGE" when you log into the menu page again.
