WAN and System Configuration 2-37
Change Device to a Bridge
For Netopia DSL Routers, this feature allows you to turn off the routing features and use your device as a bridge. It is not an option for Ethernet WAN models. If you select this option, the device will restart itself, and reset all the settings to factory defaults. Any configurations you have made will be erased. Use this feature with caution. If you decide to reinstate the routing capabilities, you must reconfigure the device from scratch.
From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.
