Brian,
Yes, I got this. If I had an 'access port/point' I too would have demoted my
router to 'bridged.' I only have one router. I call it my 'gateway.'
Yes, am using PPPoE. So far, today, it all works.

If it is anything like my setup I had to set my DSL modem to bridging
mode and then connected it to my Airport Extreme. I gave the Airport
my DSL login credentials and presto. So I am thinking that your modem
always knew your credentials if you had a PPoE or similar login for
your DSL.
