I’m about to pull the trigger on optimum fiber 2 gig plan, and I just make sure I got my facts straight.

I want to use my own TPLink Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers, and from what i gather, to do that I’d have to ask the technician or customer support to put the router into bridge mode.

What exactly does bridge mode do? Does it turn their gateway into a passthrough device and lets my TPLink router handling all “routing”? Or will their gateway still act a router and my TPLink will be another router?

TIA
