You need to put the Brightbox into bridge mode, if that is possible.

I don't think they support that, they're similar to the Sky routers. If the OP knows the username/password for the connection, then a Huawei HG612 from eBay alongside the Asus would be ideal.

I can't remember, does the locked HG612 train down to ADSLx automatically, (i.e. it is set in the default configuration), or would he need to unlock it?

Probably need to unlock it. Not sure anyone has tried with a locked one.

It doesn't have ADSL configured on it, you have to add that.

Can't see it is unless you can achieve it by just disabling DHCP and maybe NAT.

If you can disable NAT then its in bridge mode, without that you will have two boxes doing the NAT, and some applications don't work (often gaming).
