So now that I have VDSL (thanks Voda) I'm thinking i'd like to get my home networking solution revamped a little. 

I recently was able to get a great deal on an Asus RT-AC68R (same as the 68U but a retail version) and was hoping to get it bridged with the HG659 so it manages the DHCP side of things. 

Having never set up a bridged modem/router combo i'm a little lost. 

I understand VDSL is pppoe, is that correct? The HG659 seems to indicate that it's actually a static ip based connection. Is that right? I have a static ip setup with Voda but plan on removing that now that I have a modem/router capable of DDNS... 

Then there is the mystical WAN port... 

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to:
1. Set up the HG659 to passthrough the internet connection to the router
2. Set up the vodafone connection correctly on the router
