hello swinog has anyone collected experience with a zyxel 2802 ROuter used as modem (mode "bridge")?
I can't get it to work, with routing it finally works, but as bridge with my old good pfsense it won't work
does someone know where is the trick? I've already upgraded the firmware...

Have you tried contacting studerus support? They are very fast and extremely helpful.
it's a idea will try tomorrow...
I got it working now on the second port - not the 1st, not the 4th.... strange.
I wont touch it anymore and call them first for help...
on my ADSL this was running very fine without any hassle

Yep, Studerus is good, but Zyxel is not always so good. Not always - I've been waiting for more than three years for a permanent fix for a Zyxel ADSL router. :-(

It does indeed work. After upgrading the firmware to the latest version found on the Studerus web site, you need to perform a full factory reset (pushing the reset button for >10 seconds), then configure the 2802 in bridge mode *without* going through PPP mode first.
Now comes the fun part: connect your PPP client, and wait. After 30-60 minutes the PPP session will be up and running.
It's actually a bug in the firmware. The 2802 sends an ARP request to the Swisscom DSLAM even when in bridge mode. This triggers some kind of ARP filter on the Swisscom side, and you will be unable to log in with your PPP client for some time. For some reason, it only does this the first time. It works immediately after subsequent power-cycles.

yeah, thank you
I got it running with some massive headache and massive trying and resetting. finally it works. let's see what happens after next router restart.....
you have to set it to brige mode with the Assitant. I always selected the Advanced setup. d'oh
