Yes, i understand how to do it, but i was unable to access the modems menu online to make the change. I finally disconnected the router and used only the modem and was able to access the menu and change it to modem only mode. However, it didnt work at all, nothing was being passed to the router once i put it back in the loop.
Then when i went to reset the modem back to router and modem, EVERY single time i tried to access it, i got a warning saying the administer was already online. After waiting, unpluggin it etc etc. I finally was able to access it and changed it back. and logged out. Hooked up the netgear router to it and still was unable to access the internet.
Talked to my ISP and thankfully they helped me get back online, even though it wasnt their modem/router. I was getting desparate because it was my Bday and i wanted to chat with everyone ;). While we did that again I was unable to access the modem menu because it said the administer was already online. I had no lease on the router, or where ever the heck that was. I thought you could reset the modem via the tiny hole in the back but you cannot. Still dont know how to reset it without gettin online with it.
I have not tried to get it to be just the bridge again. Didnt want to lose the web just now.
Thank you.

First of all, Happy Birthday! :)
Just to be clear, if the modem is on bridge, your router should be configured to be set on PPPoE. Otherwise, your router should be configured as DHCP.
What is the setting on your DM11PSP?
Are you also using a NETGEAR router? If yes, what's the model and version?

netgear 150 router.. I have not tried the bridge again.. as i was unable to access the stupid manual online till late lastnight when it finally allowed me menu access again. did not want to go through all that nonesense and waste my time with out some docs. hmm need to get the one for my router too.
thank you for the advice i will be sure to do that. i think my router was blank on the dchp.. and since i couldnt access the modem menu who know what it said.

when you say 'router' are you talking about the modem/router or the other 150 router?

Modem Router = DM111PSP
Router = your other device?
