Unable to turn on Bridge Mode

I'm trying to turn on Xfinity Bridge mode for my Xfinity Gateway and the option is not able to be selected at http://10.0.0.1/at_a_glance.jst

There are no options for enabling bridge mode at the above URL. Any tips to be able to turn this on so I can use my own router?

user_ahnxzh To confirm, when you put in 10.0.0.1 to access the admin portal of the gateway it doesn't list an option on the bottom that says "manage WiFi settings" that you can click?

Hi,

I'm having the same issue.

When I enable Admin Tools through my Xfinity app and then ethernet directly into my Xfinity gateway with my laptop, open up a web browser and type in 10.0.0.1, I get a screen nearly identical to this image from the Xfinity guide on how to enable bridge mode

Except where my screen says "Bridge mode:" right after the colon, there is no enable/disable toggle button. It's completely blank. I noticed this was also the case maybe about 2 weeks ago.

Hello @user_mo59br, thank you for your comment. Sorry you’re running into this, especially after following the guide step‑by‑step and still not seeing the Bridge Mode toggle. Can you share the gateway model (e.g., XB6/XB7/XB8) that you have?

@user_mo59br, do you have active Xfinity Wi-Fi extenders in the home? If so, you won't be able to enable bridge mode. Do you have advanced security enabled on the Xfinity gateway?

I can confirm that this is an issue with my newly activated XB10; the option is simply no longer present:

The token errors present in the at_a_glance.jst file may provide insight as to why; not sure.

This was also the case on my outgoing XB8, as of the latest firmware.

I was able to get it to work by doing a hard reset of the XFi Gateway XB8 and connecting directly to the gateway with my laptop via ethernet cable before connecting any other devices.

I am also experiencing the same issue with my XB7 cabled modem that no enable/disable button shown in the Bridge Mode section.  

Can someone from xfinity support team confirm that doing Hard/Factory reset is a viable workaround?

I really want to hook my Orbi router back.

Hey everyone! This was a known issue when it came to the XB7 and XB8s. At this time, it appears that the fix was recently pushed out. I was also missing the bridge mode button on my XB8, but when I log into the modem's Admin page, I see it has returned. Please let us know if it's the same for you as well.
