I dont know if it increases speed , but it opens all your ports so youll need a standalone firewall

What does standalone firewall means?Can you count zonealarm in it?

Question :1) HOW CAN I ACTIVATE BRIDGE MODE IN MT882 ROUTER?
In modem settings in WAN page uncheck PPP/PPPoE mode and select "Bridged "
Save and reboot . Wait for 2 or three minutes.
Now to connect to Internet you have to use a dialer ( wanminiport) where you enter
your UserID and Password.
IS THIS HELPS IN INCREASING MY DOWNLOADING SPEEDS?
Unlikely. But as all ports are open , you have to use a standalone Firewall program such as Zone Alarm , Kerio etc.
In present setup "always On " you can do Port forwarding to specific Port/s or programs.
Try in SEARCH above "Port forwarding in MT 882 " for old threads. etc.
See portforward.com for details. MT882 listed.

In short its not worth the headache unless you have a limited connection and tend to unknowingly overuse it
