What happens if you plug your computer directly into the modem - do
you have internet access ?

Usually when I have problems with bridge mode, it is because I am not
authenticated with my ISP, and I have to reset the modem and
authenticate, then go back into bridge mode. In my case, I set the
modem to bridge mode via a software interface.

Have you called your ISP ?

Interesting. Well it's a modem router combo, and if I take the asus
out of the chain it works again. It's just when inserting the asus
router between the modem and the switch that I can't get an internet
connection.

I'm going to try contacting them today, but they are beyond useless.
Most of them don't even know what bridge mode
