XER10 - Enable 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
MINISFORUM MS-01 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. My MS-01 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/software update 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!

Hello @bert2me, thank you for taking the time to leave a post. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. At this time, the XB10 modem does not support bridge mode, so that option isn’t available to enable.

I am also interested in bridge mode. Honestly I would prefer not to have the XER10 in the mix, but support told me that the fiber ONU is paired with the XER10 modem/gateway and that's the only way it will work. As a result, Bridge mode needs to be used. They directed me to the bridge mode article, but as we know the XER10 currently doesn't support this function. A firmware is really needed for this. I upgraded today and moved to Xfinity fiber (from a cable connection). The prior services was a much simpler design. I had my own cable modem registered with my ISP. Ethernet from cable modem to router. Fewer devices in the mix and less points of failure. As it stands now, I have a double NAT setup which I don't like. Fiber ONU > XER10 > My Router/Firewall.

I just want to add my voice here. It is unacceptable and ridiculous that there is no XER-10 bridge mode. Many of the customers that would need this type of device are also ones that would want to use their own routers/gateways/firewalls.
You don't even have to institute a bridge mode... allow users to use their own equipment as the gateway. Authentication is the only reason an Xfinity gateway is even required in the first place.
