Is it ok to use the ZTE hub in bridge mode?

The settings on the hub allow it to be placed into bridge mode, however, I believe that this is a cellular bridge which is different. The hub has one LAN port that according to the router specs can be used as a LAN TO WAN connection enabling one device to connect through the ZTE to the internet. When the ZTE is in bridge mode it passes through the Three assigned WAN IP to the router that's set up for a WAN connection. The bridge mode feature has not been blocked by Three and you can easily make the changes, however, I'm unsure if this is allowed under the home broadband contract. I will still be using the ZTE supplied hub (bridge mode), however, my other router has quality of service features which I would like to use.

Hey there, Goober. 

I wasn't aware the ZTE router had this function on it. Maybe it was added in a firmware update, or perhaps it just slipped by me. 

In any case, it's not an issue for you to go ahead and use features like bridge mode to expand your local network. This will allow you to use features like QoS, as well as other features your own hardware may offer.

Pete.

I have jut turned wifi off on my ZTE modem, fed the first mesh with ethernet from the modem, and use the modem IP settings and put the Decos into access point mode.

I did try bridge mode, ( using IP etc from decos). which did work but meant I could not restart the ate modem after its may internet ( which it did not improve) drops easily from the app on my iPhone. ( I also had to juggle my ethernet routers around). Back now to using the modem to distribute IP address.

WHEN WILL THE ZTE BUG BE SOLVED... ?

from ZTE "support" who are as useless as three's

"As the device is sold by Three the after-sales is also their responsibility, hence you have to contact them to get the issue resolved."
