Bridge a Motorola DSL Modem
Digital subscriber line (DSL) modems, such as the Motorola DSL modem, allow a computer to access the Internet through a DSL connection. However, most DSL modems do not provide a way to connect additional computers to the Internet through the DSL network. To do this, you will need a router to set up a network for your computers or other devices. Before you do that, you need to bridge your Motorola DSL modem.
