ADSL/VDSL modem router in bridge mode in conjunction with wireless router/Deco avoiding Double NAT

In the following diagram is the typical network topology:

Before you start, I would suggest to backup the TD-W9960 and C80 configuration just in case something goes wrong.

You will need these credentials for configuring PPPoE session in C80 later:

 

 

Delete the old Internet connection in TD-W9960 (PPPoE):

 

 

Add new Internet connection of type Bridge (click Save at the end):

 

 

Note: Make sure the modem LAN DHCP server is disabled - some modems may need this setting changed.

 

Settings in C80:

 

If you ISP uses a particular VLAN for the Internet, IPTV or VOIP you can set these here (captured from TD-W9960 in the first step):

 

 

Configuring PPPoE session in C80 (captured from TD-W9960 in the first step):

 

 

After configuring the PPPoE in C80 click CONNECT (if available) and you should be able to establish the PPPoE session from C80.

You'll have an internet connection with a Single NAT in C80.

Similarly you can use other TP-Link ADSL/VDSL modem instead TD-W9960.

Also you can use Deco system (in router mode) or any other wireless router instead C80 depending on what hardware you use.

Of course, VoIP won't work and since there's no NAT in bridge mode, only one LAN port should be used.
