Bridge mode section?

[snikted]

I'm trying to get a box set up in bridge mode but the option to select it during install has vanished... Can someone help me?



I plugged the ext and int ports into my switch and I can tell it's getting internet access and lan access but something is definitely wrong as the web portal is painfully slow and sometimes doesn't load pages at all - it's basically unusable.

Thanks.

You can configure bridge mode by editing your Internal interface and choosing Bridged as the config type. In the dropdown choose your External interface.

Forgot to mention that was part of my initial configuration (I did some googling) and it's still all screwy.

"I plugged the ext and int ports into my switch" NO, external (or wan) to router and internal (or lan) to switch

You plugged the cables from both NG Firewall ports into the same switch? That's your problem. The external/WAN port should be connected to your ISP device and the internal/LAN port connected in entirely the other direction, to your internal switch.
