Access modem in bridged mode from R7800

[facboy]

hi,

i'm trying to follow this: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/...raw_iptables_variant_required_for_pppoe_setup

i'm running Voxel's firmware on an R7800, it was easy enough to do the above on LEDE (and earlier, gargoyle on my WNDR3700), but i'm struggling with the R7800 and the stock(ish) firmware.

i managed to get a second ip address assigned to ethwan, but all the chains are named differently to what the OpenWRT wiki says and I'm not sure which corresponds to which.

Depending on mfr and model# of modem, some modems, when in bridge mode, loose there access to the UI. You'll need to contact the Mfr of this modem and find out if the modems web page is still accessible when in bridge mode. Bridge mode on modems means the router, wifi and gateway is disabled, so the public IP address that your ISP gives you gets passed thru the modem to the R7800 router. Usually when modems are in Bridge mode, there isn't any need to access it's features since there are mostly disabled. Contact your ISP or the modems Mfr and ask about this.

Not easy but you can acces the modem in transparent bridge via your router. At least when I tried Tomato on my R7000 I used the instructions in the link below and it worked. Look at the 5th post:
