887VA in bridging mode for VDSL

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read my post.

I’m looking for a bit of advice on how to configure the router. I’ve found plenty of posts relating to bridging mode for ADSL but none for VDSL service.

Scenario

BT infinity service using home hub 5 (which cannot be placed in modem mode), connected to 887VA. I want to use the router in bridging so I can place a ASA5505 between the router and the LAN (ASA to have PPoE configured).

This is all sandbox at home and not a production environment. I know its overkill to use this as a bridge but I dont intend to use it forever like this and my only alternative is to purchase a vdsl modem (more expense!)

Any help to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Current 887VA config as below before I start mucking around.

Thanks

Chris

The VDSL controller on the 887VA is smart enough to detect if the line is an ADSL or VDSL. If that's an assured config for ADSL bridge, it will then work on VDSL as well. I happen to have a couple 887VA but never made them as a bridge, so I can't comment on the above config.
