Bridging a router/modem combo

I have a router/modem combo, but when I go into router settings there is no option to just Bridge mode it. I did some digging around on the internet and found a post that said I could just DMZ my new router through the combo one, should I do this? I don't think I have any other option to go for. (I'm trying to bridge it because I have a new router and it requires a modem).
Combo router: TG588V2
New router: TP-LINK Archer C20i AC750

Just try to run it without bridged mode. If you have issues down the road then you'll have to figure out a way to bridge it.

Bridge isn't ALWAYS needed , it just most of the time makes things "easier" in the long run.

You didn't see ANYTHING about bridge or quick bridge or anything like that in the routers GUI?

Sorry, since my router is a version 2 of the 588, that never came up for me when I searched it, thanks so much!!

I will try it out later

I have the same interface as that, so it should work! Thank you so much!!
