How to disable bridge mode?
I turned my xFi into bridge mode because xBox complains double NAT gateway, however, now I figured out maybe it's better to turn my router to bridge mode instead of xFi -- because Flex stops working now. However, in bridge mode, xFi doesn't have Wifi, I can't connect to it by 10.0.0.1. Can anyone tell me how to connect 10.0.0.1, or reset xFi to non-bridge-mode? Thanks!

I found someone mentioned, if I press the reset button for more than 60 seconds, the modem will be factory reset. Is it correct? After factory reset, do I need to setup xFinity username/password, or I only need to take care of my local Wifi setup?

Bridge mode may shift the management IP to http://192.168.100.1 but I think it depends on the specific gateway. Xfinity seems to fear publishing an actual manual for their stuff.
In Bridge mode, only the coax to Ethernet works, it does not setup an internal network and WiFi is disabled. It's assumed you are taking care of your internal network with something connected to the 1st Ethernet lan port. Only one Ethernet port will be active usually on most gear.
Factory default reset by either the 'toothpick pinhole button' on some gear, or holding the WPS button for a minute (or longer?) factory resets it. You won't have to setup your xfinity account again, but you will have to setup your WiFi SSID name and WiFi password again.
