Orbi RBR50 Transparent Bridging not working with Centurylink Technicolor C2000T
I'm trying to get transparent bridging working again. My internet went down and at first I thought it was an issue on my end so I started troubleshooting and for some dumb reason decided it was a goo...
- Aug 17, 2023I got it working.
For anyone running into the same problem, I did two things.
I had centurylink swap out the modem and now I am running on a C4000BG(not a good solution for most but needed to be done in my situation, as michaelkenward mentioned my old router was from 2014 lol)
The second thing I did was instead of selecting “transparent bridging untagged”, I selected “transparent bridging 201”.
Everything is up and running as it was before.
Thanks michaelkenward for assisting.
Hopes this helps anyone else that runs into this issue.

The "bridging" word is easily open to confusion depending on the device involved and the context. So can we clarify that what you are trying to do is to get the Centurylink Technicolor C2000T to work in bridge (modem only) mode?
Have you tried this?
centurylink technicolor c2000t bridge mode - Google Search
Does this modem/router really date from 2014?
It seems to me that you issue is with the modem/router. You shouldn't need to do anything serious to the Orbi router beyond giving it your Internet settings.
