still dont get it though, is it something to do with being able to hijack networks with a cloned mac address or something, please explain in 10 words

The cisco box you have has both a modem and a router. The modem handles the internet connection and the router handles all your local connections (laptops, computers, games consoles etc). Some people buy nice expensive routers that are pretty shít hot and much better than the one built into the cisco. Bridging lets them use their router instead of the built in one.

ah ok, would a "**** hot" router allow me to allocate only a specific amount of bandwith for a wireless device ? eg allocate a max of 10mb for say an ipad

[demanufactured]

Yup

Bridging is, connecting a different router usually better to the current UPC modem and using that instead for internet access. If the bridging works with phone on this model, that would be excellent.

Just upgraded to 100Mb. Dont like the new router. How would I go about bridging this? n00b

This does in fact support bridging. I had two installed during the week and are both configured in bridge mode. Seems to have sorted some latency issues we were having with the older model too.

Also, bridge mode was configured from UPC's end.

im defo not gettin the same upload speed, i was gettin a solid 1.13mb steady upstream for filing and now im getting about 800kpbs, if it continues to be that slow off peak and during peak im gonna **** this router back at em , if its the network then il jsut dis-continue the contract, i mean how on earth could a residential package outperform a business package.

Do you have the phone from them too as the other model supported bridging but the phone didn't work in bridge mode so couldn't use it.

If you think about it the phone would need its own real internet address to comunicate back to UPC. So maybe they just don't want to give out more than one IP address to each customer.

Is bridge mode an official option on the new router or does it have to be hacked like the old one?

the phone and broadband are completely separate.

yes it's still voip, but not in the same sense as say skype or blueface is, it's not being sent directly over your internet connection, the two are totally segregated.

Were your installs business or consumer? If I just call them, will they enable bridging?

Hi - I just received the Cisco EPC3925 router this morning and believe this does NOT support bridging as it comes - I have looked at every tab and cannot find it. From the other forums I believe it does support it however not as UPC configures it.

Also - How can UPC enable it remotely as this is a router centric configuration option and nothing to do with the data connection..

I am trying to get this to connect to my vigor 2920n router as this has many more options (VPN/Call-In etc..)

Thanks,

Ian.

I think this answers the question..
