A client of mine was using Bell DSL. His Bell router was bridged and fed a Trendnet router that I put in, plus a 24 port switch and so on. It’s been working fine for a few years.

Client drops bell and switches to Primus who sends him a new DSL router. He connects it in place of the old Bell and asks the Primus guy to bridge it. Primus says that bridging is old tech and the Trendnet is not compatible. He has internet coming out of the Primus but nothing coming through the Trendnet when it’s connected.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of bridging an ISP router being old tech and not compatible with third party routers.

I’m sorry I don’t have any more details. I’m still collecting info.

Am I missing something? I feel like maybe the Primus guy just doesn’t know how to bridge his router.

Thanks.
