XER10 - Bridge Mode
I was recently upgraded to a new modem/router combo (XER10) from the XB7-T. I am a power user and use a UniFi Dream Machine Pro to do all of my network's routing, The XB7-T allowed me to use bridge mode and let my router handle all of the routing throughout the house. With this new XER10, I don't even have an option for Bridge mode at all. I operate a server and connect to my router with VPN very frequently and I CANNOT have a double NAT. My UDM Pro is more than sufficient to handle the network speeds, and has 10Gig NICs as well. If I can register it's MAC and use that I would be much happier and I will gladly send back the equipment, but otherwise I will need a version of your equipment that I can enable Bridge Mode.

I found a way to enable bridge mode on the XER10.
Hidden away in the "At a Glance" page of http://10.0.0.1 is the following function:
...
function changeBridge(isBridgeModelEnable) { var cnt = 90; var jpMsg=$.i18n("Bridge Mode changes will be fully applied in")+' ' + cnt + ' '+$.i18n(" seconds, please be patient..."); jProgress(jpMsg, 600); $.ajax({ type:"POST", url:"actionHandler/ajax_at_a_glance.jst", data:{Bridge:"true",isBridgeModel:isBridgeModelEnable,csrfp_token: token}, success:function(){ // don't do jHide, with latest firmware, switch bridge will return before httpd restart, GUI reload at return will cause 500 error. So wait until http restored. var hCnt = setInterval(function(){ $("#cnt").text(cnt--); if (cnt < 0) {clearInterval(hCnt); location.reload();} }, 1000); } }); }Open up dev tools and you can find it for yourself. Copy/Paste it into the browser console and then type the following to run the command:
This will immediately start enabling bridge mode!
