    I have not been able to successfully bridge the newer D1000 Eircom modem/router. I have always bridged Eircom routers with my DD-WRT fw Netgear.

    The PPPoE is established and I am able to get a public Wan ip on my Netgear but external connections time-out. Tried disabling the firewall and reverting from Google open dns to Eircom isp dns. No joy. Anyone been able to successfully do this?

    Thx

    Same. It gets a WAN IP, but wont route the traffic.

    If you first set it to PPPoE in Router mode, save the settings, then change to bridging mode, it will work. But I think it might revert back when powered off, so not very reliable.

    Although, see here for the record, http://nickwhittome.com/2014/07/24/eircom-zyxel-d1000-the-most-useless-router-on-the-planet/

    In fact there's an easier option for PPPoE bridging. Set the mode to Router, set Encapsulation type to PPPoE, then go to Advanced Setup and way down at the end of the page a "PPPoE Passthrough" option will appear.

    Set this to yes and you can run the normal PPPoE clients on connected devices in a bridge-like fashion. This will persist after power-off unlike the previous method.
