How to Bridge a Speed Touch Modem
Access the Speed Touch modem administration pages through a Web browser to change the configuration from routing to bridging. If the Speed Touch modem has routing enabled, network devices such as routers and firewalls will not have direct connection to the Internet, and additional latency will be added to the connection. Disable router services and DHCP on the Speed Touch modem to make the modem invisible to devices on the private network.
