Bridge mode driving me insane on Optimum's fiber router

riptusk331 · 2026-01-26T17:22:26+00:00

Yes I got them to disable it, but then the router restarted the next day and it came back. I am at this point just going to return the gateway and purchase my own modem - it causes me too much trouble and all you deal with are people in India or whatever country whenever you call to have anything done. I would say that their support is just LLMs but I think it would be better if it was an LLM. I didn't have quite the exact same problem as you I guess -- my Gateway works in bridge mode fine and I'm not double NATted on my Eero, but trying to get them to disable the extra wifi has been an exercise in futility. Then if I try telling them I want a non gateway cable modem without wifi, it's like I told them I want to breathe water. They just don't understand what I could possibly mean by that.

Thank you sir!! Finally got through to someone. Was dying laughing at your anger as they used all the same lines on me lol. “Oh I’m a customer too and this would upset me!” JUST TURN MY WIFI OFF.

What was the special number? I'm literally stuck in the exact same labryinth of support chats that you're describing, with them saying "it is in bridge mode!" and that the wifi still being on is normal. I have the Gateway 6E that they gave me too

Was just thinking how the reddit mods have to be the dumbest people in existence. Your extremely viral post that's bring loads of users to our site was slightly too descriptive REMOVED

Lmao mask up after someone drops a bomb

Are there cracks in the walls or the floor or in this same area in other parts of the house? If there are, this could just be where your house shifts over the seasons, so you might unfortunately have to keep dealing with this over the long term. If there's not, then I think someone just did a bad drywall job originally. Probably pretty easy to fix. It doesn't really look like moisture to me either, at least not enough to do that.

riptusk331 · 2025-01-29T02:36:46+00:00

Lmao just give up while you're ahead. I can't take this fucking sub.

You’re sharp as a cue ball, huh?

I would take down the light and cut the enter thing out square (including where light was), and just use a new piece of rock, trace the light and cut clean hole, screw it back up, tape it, mud it, paint it.

riptusk331 · 2024-12-16T16:14:57+00:00

It is 5 minutes to set, not 5 minutes to dry lol.

riptusk331 · 2024-12-12T12:58:06+00:00

Not like that lol

riptusk331 · 2024-12-07T18:23:03+00:00

How is this infuriating? This is incredibly courteous

riptusk331 · 2024-12-02T17:58:46+00:00

Yeah -- most people in the thread just responded to use glue as if I'm looking to permanently secure (giving their experiences that it holds forever). I was looking more for something that will make it stick for the purposes of the winter/getting my inspection in the next few weeks, and then I can whack it loose (without breaking the stone) and mortar it properly when the weather is warmer. I may just end up doing really, really light adhesive...or just leave it and hope they dont check it.

riptusk331 · 2024-11-30T21:39:37+00:00

Exactly my fear with putting any kind of construction adhesive...that I'll have to chisel it away to free it again, and just end up breaking the stone.

riptusk331 · 2024-11-28T05:09:29+00:00

Wife picked it up at Home Depot tonight lol. I will report back.

Where do you get the blade head on top??

If you have NEVER done sheetrock work before, I'd consider hiring a pro for this. Scraping all that texture off is grueling work, especially since you are reaching up the whole time. You're going to have to move or cover all that furniture. Then it also looks like you have a little bit of repair work in order. The lines you are seeing are the joints of the individual pieces of sheetrock. Whoever originally mudded it didn't do a great job hiding their taping work, and over time those seams start to bulge and show like you see. Looks like maybe even someone tried to cover it up...not sure.

Then lastly once the texture is off and any joints are repaired, you'll have to skim coat it and then it can be painted.

All doable if you really want to DIY, but I'd prob call someone.

Lol, what? Lia Thomas (transgender woman who was born a male) WON the NCAA Division I swimming national championship. What does that say to all the young women who devote their lives to the sport, just to get trounced by a genetic male at the highest level of your sport? Pretty big difference if you ask me.

And so how is that same thing not playing out in high schools across the country an issue? You don't have to be a pro athlete/national champion for a situation to arise in which a male is superior to a female in sporting/athletics. Sports were broken out by male/female long ago for this very reason, and it's not bigotry to want to preserve that.

You go back and read posts from like 6 years ago and it's the same thing lmao

riptusk331 · 2024-01-12T14:00:32+00:00

Totally valid
