    I live in Dublin 3 and my UPC was down from 05:40 until 17:20! Modem didn't reboot and is still bridged though.

    Ah I see. Do you have any idea what could cause it to return to modem/router mode?
    Thanks for the reply.

    I've heard of UPC routers defaulting themselves, especially the old Cisco EPC2425. Not sure what causes it though.

    finally decided to try bridging mode today using the snmp method but could not get it! tc7200 all configured nicely but once you reattach the coax cable and modem syncs, all that bridging mode settings are lost! anyone able to help out on this?

    adding salt to the wound, could not even faux bridge it by using DMZ as there's no such option in tc7200's web interface..right now i can just use the router as wifi ap :-(

    I do hope the old TWG's are too flakey for DS Lite and they leave us the hell alone. Has anyone with the TWG lost bridge yet?

    It could be that the DMZ option is missing when the modem is in DS-Lite mode. We know that the port forwarding options don't work anyway.

    If or when this happens to me I'd actually consider moving to VDSL, at least I could still use my own modem.

    sorry if this is off topic but any idea how to get to QOS or WMM settings on this router? I go to wireless and the option isn't available?

    i dont think this router has any of those...better to bridge it and use your own router

    I finally got to setup my Netgear R7000 tonight. 200mbit Internet on my phone and laptop is nice, but even the wife's iPhone 5s is nearly twice as fast as it was on the Thompson at 98mbit. Lots more to play with like VPN too.

    Nice one OP.

    I just got a TC7200 box with UPC, and set about trying to go around it to use a decent piece of kit.

    Just tried to route through to my VPN aapliance and nat for my storage... No dice

    Sad face.

    Just managed to set the flag from 2 to 1 three times, as soon as the cable is connected back the modem bounces and turns back into a **** router.

    Sad face.

    Probably running in DS Lite mode, to confirm, check if you have an IPv6 address in the web interface.

    Correct, I'm IPV6'd.

    Why would they do it that way instead of the right way? It boggles the mind...

    People aren't ready for full shift just yet, I think.

    I suspect that they believe home users don't need publicly routeable IPv4 so they're going with DS Lite to conserve IPv4 addresses.

    If or when they move me over I'll have to have a few words with them, and I will cancel my service if they won't let me use my own router.

    As soon as I saw comcast were doing CGN I was worried they'd start this **** here. Ill be straight to VDSL if they try it on my node.

    Well, I've just PM'd their UPC: Reps userbox on these forums and explained my ipv6 concerns to them, and they were able to help me. I'd give that a try if you're in the same boat - they seemed reasonable.

    Unfortunately UPC confirmed to me on that thread in the UPC forum that they won't give a heads up prior to switching over to IPv6/DS Lite and conveniently they don't support anything other than online shopping via a windows based lap top (although I've not actually seen them claim to support that either). No doubt some day I'll come home and find my network down and trusty old TWG back in router mode and then have to PM the reps to try & get my IPv4 address back and hope I can get the TWG back into bridge mode. Good ol' UPC, they like to make you work for it, ah the joys!

    You can't apply to 7200 what is working for 870U. If you search on this forum you will find that 7200 reverse back to router mode after you put it on bridge mode. So no luck for you :(

    Yesterday I received an new Technicolor TC7200 modem from UPC. my previous won't let me login after it timed out (already a user logged in)
    this version seems to have an updated software version, no DMZ. I'm really hating this piece of crap so after some googling I found this thread.

    Tried all the methods mentioned in the first post (except Linux) and seeing the replies of other it is not going to work anymore?

    my info form the router is:
    Standards Compliancy DOCSIS 3.0
    Software Version STD6.01.27
    Hardware Version 1.0

    DS-Lite AFTR FQDN aftr01.upc.ie
    DS-Lite AFTR Address 2001:730:2000:x::xxx << Yes on IPv6 :(

    Is there any other way to get it into Bridge mode? Or DMZ?
