I have read that thread from dslreports. Unfortunately, that is not the exact same router that I have, so the instructions do not match up. I have not found a thread that specifically explains how to bridge the Westell 9100 em. Still searching for someone that has made it work with some specific instructions.

Thanks,

EL

Can you show a screen shot of what you see if your router that is different?

See as need be, these two threads.

Let me know what you need exactly. If that was not enough.

Do you mind if you re-upload the image, but this time make sure that you do not click on "resize image"?

The COAX LAN WIRELESS is already bridged. If you want you can just turn off the DHCP on the router and do DHCP and/or PPPOE from the other router. LAN to LAN. You do not need to use the WAN Ethernet port or the WAN COAX Port. Do not use the WAN at all on the Westell. That is what I did with my Actiontec. Keep it simple and see if it works. But if you use the COAX from the ONT and not Ethernet then there could be issues.

If you do not have TV service and use COAX on the WAN for your connection you could just disable the COAX WAN and it would just be a coax LAN port and all is bridged.

If it's that easy I'll be thrilled. 

So, turn DHCP off on the Westell, turn it on on my router (Apple Airport Extreme), connect the Airport WAN port to a LAN port on the Westell?

But won't I still be double-NATed?

I'll try it tonight and post back here.
