I am trying to understand bridge mode vs wireless router with my setup.  I have AT&T fiber coming into the modem which is a Humax BGW320-500.  From there I have an ethernet going from the 5GB port to the 2.5GB LAN port on the router (BE800).  Then I have my PC wired into the router, and everything else in the house is Wi-Fi.  I have the modem set to IP passthrough mode and the router set to bridge mode but im thinking I have something set wrong because certain pages wont load when im set up this way.  I noticed the DHCP server is coming from the modem which seems like it should probably come from the router but there are so many settings on both and I just want to get it right.  Once I get that right, id like to see if theres a way I can alway connect to 6GHz when available and switch to 2.4/5GHz when its poor connection.  Please help.

Sounds like you need to set the router into router mode so it can do the DHCP. The modem should be in bypass or bridge mode. 

 

It is the device that mostly controls which WIFI to connect to. Use different SSIDs for each WIFI and setup the device to use the all three and it will pick the best one for it. 6GHg is the fastest, then 5GHz, then 2.4GHz. But the reverse is true for distance.
