Modem or ONT
Hi Team, I am wanting to purchase this but before i do i was just wondering do i have to plug the R8500 into my current Modem/Router and apply bridge mode. Or can i plug the R8500 straight into t...
Thanks, i forgot to mention that i live in New Zealand and after some research i found out that some ISP's in New Zealand will let a router connect to the ONT only if it supports VLAN 10 tagging on the WAN port. So thats my next mission now is to find out if the R8500 has this feature.
