I imagine that the modem has a web interface you can access to put it into bridge mode. Look up the model online and see what it's default IP address is.

Yes i went into the interface set it up into bridge was very easy to be honest, can i ask is this a good product used as a standalone modem or is there no benefits of this in comparison with using BT smart hub in bridge?
been using it since over the weekend, same speeds and ping as the BT hub but that is to be expected, not sure if it is placebo but the anti bufferbloat appears to be working better with the DM200.

Well the DM200 should in theory be more compatible as it's giving the router an unfiltered connection. The BT Hub could be fiddling with the traffic in all sorts of ways and we wouldn't know.
