the whole idea behind bridging is to put a router after the internet service provider router to do the NATing and quality of service task in our premises ,but how can we make the isp router bridging in the first place
When two NAT devices are connected in series (for instance a modem with built-in NAT capabilities is connected to a router which is also a NAT device), it is recommended to configure your modem in bridge mode to avoid conflicts

In order to use your own equipment, your ISP router/modem will have to be put into what is called Bridge Mode. Bridge Mode enables traffic to pass through without restriction, allowing the equipment you supplied to control your data to your needs. Depending on your ISP and equipment, this may not be an obvious setting. Some ISPs would prefer that you don’t use equipment other than theirs. Refer to the user manual or contact your ISP for assistance on how to do this.
