HELP! F3000 not working in bridge mode with Nest Wifi

peejay1986

Hey. I've a set of Nest Wifi points (one router) and I'd ideally like to use these around the house.

My thinking was to put the F3000 (FTTC) into bridge mode and let the Nest router to it to take over DHCP control.

Everything works fine connected, however as soon as I put the F3000 into bridge mode, everything loses internet connection.

I've set the Nest router as a reserve IP on the F3000 and it is connect from the F3000's LAN into the WAN on the Nest.

Is there anything else I'm missing that I should be doing? It's driving me crazy, so any help would be hugely appreciated.

You probably need to enter the eircom login details in the Nest WiFi along with configuring VLAN 10

I think its eircom@eircom.net/broadband1

Would that not be a modem feature?

Nope usually once you put it into bridge mode it just acts as a dumb modem - all authenication and routing etc would be handled by the Google WiFi router

Hmm, I see. I've absolutely no idea how to do that 🤔

It's currently set up in DHCP mode. I have options to change it to Static or PPPOE.

I think the option you need to choose is PPPOE
