I set the router up as a bridge again and disabled the DHCP server. This time I managed to get an IP address assigned to a computer directly attached to one of the LAN ports on the router.

For some reason I can't get any packets out to the internet. Wireshark shows a lot of TCP retransmissions, pings don't get answered.

Curiously the IP address assigned to the router when in Dynamic IP mode is not the same I get when using bridged mode, not even in the same subnet, even when using the same DHCP client ID.

Thank you for your reply.

My ISP doesn't appear to use PPPoE here.

I've uploaded some images of my router configuration to make it clearer: https://imgur.com/a/gNpdQ

Alternatively, if it's not possible to use the modem in bridge mode, would it be possible to disable NAT on the TP-Link and set up OPNsense in such a way to do the NATing instead?

Having signed up with a new ISP, naturally I want to keep using my OPNsense router.

I am used to setting up PPPoE but this time I've been provided with a VDSL modem+router combo device that connects using "Dynamic IP" in the TP-Link gui. I'm assuming this is referring to DHCP as it doesn't require any configuration.

My difficulties start when I attempt to put the modem+router in bridge mode so I can let my OPNsense box do the routing. Neither my OPNsense nor other directly attached devices get an IP address when I connect to the bridging modem.

Is there something I'm missing here? Do I have another option to set up my network without double NAT?
