Talk:Bridge Mode (fibr)/@comment-49.145.246.189-20190925125947

I have my ONU (older, black model, almost three years since installation) set to 'Bridge' mode, connecting to my Draytek Vigor 2860Vn+ router. Everything is working perfectly well except that data bandwidth has dropped from 50Mbps to around 10Mbps. I don't believe that the problem is with my router - I tried connecting a computer directly to the ONU and still achieved only 10Mbps.

So, is the ONU inefficient in 'Bridge' mode (it should be doing less work so I would expect it to be faster) or does the PLDT network detect the change in ONU configuration and deliberately throttle the connection. I use 'obtain IP address automatically' both for the router and for the directly-connected PC and they both receive the 49.145.24*.* address with 49.145.240.1 gateway.

Is there a configuration change which I have failed to make, or is there a way to avoid this slowdown?

Should I simply abandon this exercise, revert to 'routed' mode and set the ONU DMZ to my router's address?

Even if I do that, I would still like to understand why it is slower in 'Bridge' mode!
