| Aug 14, 2017 at 3:41 | comment | added | Fixitrod | I have Customer that just used the dmz option in the modem. They have a firewall thats outside interface is static and uses the cable modem as the next hop on the outside interface. VPN is set up in the firewall and routes just like a router with ACLs. Then with the vpn on your device you connect to the outside ip address of the modem and it connects to the firewall vpn. Cable modem just becomes a hop. | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 14:18 | comment | added | Andrew Philips | @RonMaupin, thanks for pinging me. I never got an answer and have been living without VPN (which is annoying). However, we are putting together a plan over the next couple of months, so if and when we do resolve the problem, I'll come back here and document what we did. Cheers. | |

| Nov 18, 2015 at 18:14 | comment | added | Andrew Philips | I've already done that for NAT, DNS, DHCP (see question). If the WAN Port uses DHCP (I presume you mean client), where's the DHCP Server handing out the addresses? I'm pretty sure it needs to be static. It would be helpful to have confirmation from someone who has done something similar to this. | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 18:10 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | When you have the modem in bridge mode, you need to configure your router to take over the modem functions like NAT, DNS, DHCP, etc. Your router's WAN port will need to be set for DHCP as its IP address. | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 18:07 | comment | added | Andrew Philips | I believe I understand that. The problem isn't getting the Modem into Bridge Mode, the problem is no network connections through the Router when I do that. Something's wrong with my Router's WAN Port configuration (and possibly other parts of its configuration) such that when I put the Modem in Bridge Mode, there's no internet connectivity. A laptop attached to the Modem while Bridged can contact the internet. | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 18:05 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | When you own the modem, you just need to set up NAT on your router, and control everything from the router. Unless you run Comcast's modem in bridge mode, you will not be able to avoid its layer-3 control. | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 18:01 | comment | added | Andrew Philips | @RonMaupin Thanks. I have. I think at the moment, I'm still gun shy about Bridge Mode and am looking for some guidance on the Router's Port configuration. What I mean is, vendor router or owned router, I'm still unclear on Router port set up. Perhaps, I need to experiment more with configuring that port while the modem is in Bridge Mode? | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | Have you considered buying your own modem? Comcast maintains a list of compatible modems, and most in the list do not do routing, DHCP, DNS, etc. This seems to be what you want. You will need to inform Comcast when you want to use your modem, and they will need model an MAC address information. | |
