But, I think we decided to just buy a new router in the end, as some of these offer some very useful features like SQM.

I think we will use the DSL-N16 in bridge mode. This allows the device to act as a modem only, is that correct?

I think all I need to do is set the device to ‘Bridge’ mode, like this:

In effect, the modem handles the DSL part of the connection and the router handles the actual internet connection to an ISP (PPPoE in this case)?

Presumably, I should also disable the DHCP server on the DSL-N16? And change the IP address of the device?

The router we’ve brought is a used Asus RT-AX56U (should arrive in a few days), for £65. It has a quad core 1.5ghz CPU and supports SQM with Asuswrt-Merlin.
