Tech Post - PLDT Modem Bridge Mode

 Ito yung mga steps na ginawa ko para baguhin yung settings ng PLDT Modem/Router (Specific Model : PRS1841U-v2) ko from router mode papuntang bridge mode.

1. Currently naka double NAT setup ako, meaning yung PLDT Modem/Router is connected directly sa personal router ko (Asus RT-AC59U V2) . Magkaiba yung network range ng PLDT Modem/Router at Asus Router.

PLDT Modem Router - 192.168.1.1/24

Asus Router - 192.168.0.1/24

2. Access yung pldt web admin interface ng modem, using the adminpldt username and password.

3. From pldt web admin interface, click WAN, PTM WAN. Once nagload yung page pull down yung Channel Mode, then select Bridge

4. After nun sa Port Mapping select lang yung Lan1-Lan4, then apply changes.

5. Once mag apply na yung changes, from the Asus router interface magiging public IP na yung naka assign sa kanya instead na private IP na provided earlier nung DHCP ng PLDT Modem Router.

Pwede nyo ring confirm through What is my public ip:

6. Running tracert makita natin na one less hop yung resolution nya. From my example running tracert against google dns ip 8.8.8.8 makita natin na wala na yung 2ng hop which is yung PLDT Modem Router

Before setting PLDT Modem/Router to Bridge Mode

After

Note 1 less hop (wala na yung hop sa 192.168.1.1)

Peace.
