Apologies for a post that may be replicated elsewhere, but I can't find the information I need. Or I'm just not understanding it all.I am self taught in networking, so I have SOME basics, but I'm not an expert by ANY stretch.So, because i've been switched over to VOIP by Vodafone I am trying to find a way to use the HG659 router in my network so it can receive VOIP calls. I have an Edgerouter SPF X as my main router. It's been working just fine with the WAN cable from my cable modem attached to ETH0.eth0.10 VLAN(note in all the following that I may have misconfigurations. I just don't know.)I have found this setup:https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=40&topicid=198107&page_no=3But it does not work.I have tried to follow the instructions here to turn on bridge mode:http://help.vodafone.co.nz/app/answers/detail/a_id/27703(Including turning off the VLAN because of a comment I found elsewhere) Because my understanding is that this would let me have the VF router be dumb and my Edgerouter handle everything. Except the VOIP.But when I turn on bridge mode (according to the above instructions) the Internet light turns off. (I had an incredibly frustrating conversation with a Vodafon "ninja" who insisted that bridge mode is not for this. It DOES disable the internet and is not what I want. This goes against everything I've been seeing on these forums or elsewhere. I believe I'm correct that I want bridge mode??)And certainly the Edgerouter can't see anything useful.I have extra questions as well that are not answered clearly anywhere I've been able to find.Which ports get connected to where.I assume the Cable Modem (WAN) > HG659 (WAN) ports is the first connection.But then which ports do I connect the Edgerouter? Do I connect the WAN port (currently eth0) to a HG659 ethernet port. Or do I reconfigure the eth0 to a standard ethernet port? Assuming I can, and haven't misunderstood something.Thank you for any help you can provide. This is driving me crazy!
