Found this on the Internet. You could reflash firmware but I decided to manually change. Here are the instructions:
1. Connect White 2Wire Modem/Wireless Router to phone line, make sure DSL light is on.
2. Connect computer to any LAN port of 2Wire Modem/Wireless Router.
3. Use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or any other browser to access 2Wire Modem/Wireless Router’s web based interface. Default IP address may be 192.168.2.1.
4. Ensure 2Wire 2701HG modem cannot make PPPoE connection – Use INCORRECT Username and/or Password for PPPoE connection settings. Internet Connection –> Advanced Settings.
5. Disable DHCP Server on White 2Wire Modem/Router. Local or Home Network –> Advanced Settings.
6. Disable Wireless on 2Wire 2701HG – it is useless now and will not work anyway. Local or Home Network –> Wireless –> Disable.
7. Disable Firewall on 2Wire 2701HG Modem/ Wireless Router. Application Support –> Advanced Settings –> uncheck Stealth Mode and Block Ping. Save Settings.
8. Now White Modem/Wireless Router 2Wire 2701HG is working in Bridge Mode.
Disconnect computer from 2Wire Modem/Router.
Existing Internal Router needs to be connected using it’s WAN port to any 2 Wire’s LAN port (any one 1-2-3 or 4 , but use just one).
9. Setup Internal router to dial PPPoE connection using RIGHT Bell Username and Password.
If wireless access is required – use only Internal Wireless Router as a wireless access point.
