Proper settings when using the 202 in bridge mode before router?

Taking a page out of Steve's book eh?
Output from ssh'ing into the obi202. There's no 3 ports. Two interface and a bridge.. I've yet to hear a bridge called a switch.... Albeit a bridge consists of interfaces, virtual or real.
What I wrote was perfectly clear. If you still want to argue, go to the Admin Guide and search for "IP Routing and LAN Switching Features (OBi202 and OBi302 Only)". Read the two line paragraph.

Just an update to my ongoing problem getting my phone lines to work once consistently once I moved my Obi202 after my router.
Well, good news, I think I have the problem solved! Thought I'd try a new ethernet cable to connect the Obi and router to, and for good measure, I also used a different LAN port on the router. Now everything has worked great for about 3 days. Thanks for everyone's help and assistance on that and assuring me it should work with the Obi behind the router.
However, I do have a new minor problem now. When I'm on a call, it knocks out my internet connection on my PC that is also connected via ethernet to the router. (It doesn't impact other devices that are connected via wifi.) As a reminder, I have the Asus TM-AC1900 router, with stock firmware. The only change I made to the router settings was to set it so the Obi has an assigned IP address, as suggested earlier in this thread. Any suggestions on what other router settings I can tweak to fix this new problem?

Check that the static IP address you gave the OBi was not already assigned elsewhere.

Ok, the call problems have come back on by Obi202. GV is working fine but now I have sporadic problems calling out on Voip.ms. Since I'm a novice when it comes to router (and Obi) settings, I did some more research, watched a Youtube video on how to assign static IP addresses and double check them. I found out that when I did it previously, I did it wrong. In fact, my LAN connected PC did have the same IP as the Obi. So maybe that is what has been causing problems. Also, my MAC address is coming up the same for the Obi and my PC. So only one will show up in my network connections on my Asus router control panel. So I manually typed in the Mac address of my Obi device and assigned a new IP address to it, then after saving and rebooting everything, my router doesn't find my Obi.
Is there some setting on the Obi or on a router where it clones the Mac address? I seem to remember a few years back posting some questions in this forum about a problem I was having and someone recommended doing something with the Mac address settings. Where would I find these settings on the Obi? Or could it be a setting on my Asus TM-AC1900 router?
Studly:
Another update. I found where the Mac Clone setting is on my Obi202: Router Configuration -> WAN Settings -> MACAddressClone :
Nothing was entered in that blank and there was a check mark under Obitalk Settings. However when I unchecked that Obitalk Settings box, as if I wanted to enter something, then it showed the Mac address of my PC in that blank, as I entered it a few years ago when I was trying to fix another problem using help from this forum (see http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29239119- if you're interested in that old thread). I've completely deleted that Mac address and resaved and rechecked Obitalk Settings for MacAddressClone and now the address doesn't come back when I uncheck both boxes.
Anyway, now I have to reboot and retest. Will report back on if that fixes the problem.
