Which as I have said many times, it is nearly impossible, because Telefónica doesn't document the specs (which is against EU rules)- I have to reverse engineer the configuration. And if anything ever fails, they don't support me. Not even help.
Have you tried searching? When I search on MitraStar GPT-2541GNAC bridge mode, I get a lot of hits, but they're all in Spanish.
Yes, like this: <https://comunidad.movistar.es/t5/Soporte-Fibra-y-ADSL/HGU-MitraStar-GPT-2541GNAC-modo-bridge/td-p/2900709> They apparently leave the router still serving phone and TV. No mention on how to configure the new router. Here: <https://foros.3dgames.com.ar/threads/1044033-problema-con-el-telefono-al-poner-el-router-en-modo-bridge> there is a user from Argentina that loses phone service after 2 minutes into the phone call. I'll translate the answer: «It is a mitrastar problem. Turff confirmed it to me at the time. It happens here and it happens in Movistar Spain. At least the Spaniards could downgrade to an old firmware version that didn't have this problem... The Askey RTF3505VW that they delivered along with this one has no problem keeping the VOIP session alive in bridge mode. We had the bad luck to get this one. It is not possible to buy an Askey in ML and connect it and that's it, the equipment identifies itself with the network when the optical link is lifted and the thing dies there. If or if it has to be a replacement approved by movistar. I have had the equipment since 2016/2017 they migrated me from ADSL to fiber, never worked this in the different firmware versions over the years. I don't see it changing anytime soon. When I asked to change equipment explaining the problem not long after installation, support told me that this was not a usual configuration (? and since doing a reset and going back to defaults where the equipment takes care of the PPPoE link everything works, no problem, so no reason to change and they can't approve it. So nothing, since I have fiber I use it with the dead VOIP and fuck it. Maybe we have to hit it with a hammer, or throw a bucket of water on it, simulating an accident, and with that excuse ask to change it for the Askey, I don't know. Maybe now they accept it as a reason to change this, we would have to try it. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)» And several more posts, confirming that with this router in bridge mode they lose phone service, and Telefónica refusing to help. So no thanks, I'm not going to go that route in hell. And much less this being a Beta. They can change something else and make things even worse. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
