NETGEAR DM200

Disable the Modem’s Routing Features and Use the Modem
as a DSL Modem Only
By default, the modem functions as both a modem and a router with a limited number of routing features.
You can change the operation mode to a mode in which the modem functions as a DSL modem only (also
referred to as bridge mode) with its routing features such as DHCP and firewall features such as NAT
disabled.
A typical use of such a mode is when the modem is used only for DSL connectivity behind a WiFi router
that provides routing, firewall, WiFi, and other features and to which you can connect multiple devices.
