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.

Just got the XER10 today and I'm in disbelief there is no bridge mode. Is this a hardware limitation or a simple firmware update???

I too was told I could use bridge mode. It was just installed and it's not an option in the XER10. Fix this [Edited: "Language"] or I'll cancel service.

I'm skeptical that this feedback is getting to the right people at Xfinity through traditional channels. However, the product managers can be found on popular social career websites. I hope they are getting everyone's feedback.

I’m also looking for bridge mode capability on the
XER10. Switched from quantum fiber for 2 gig service but my network is worse because of it. Once the WiFi is turned off on the xer10 the app shows it offline so I can’t make adjustments. Please either enable bridge mode or allow the ONT to connect right to my personal router.

I agree with everyone in this thread. XER10 bridge mode is needed for "no-compromise" integration to existing high-end networks. Or an alternate modem that can connect from my ONU (that has a 10 Gbps port) to my UniFi UDM Pro SE with 2.5 Gbps WAN port. Fortunately I discovered this limitation with the XER10 (connected to my fiber EPON 10 Gbps ONU). We had to replace the XER10 with XB7-T which was compatible with the EPON implementation. However my connection is capped at 1 Gbps. My community in North Naples Florida is in the process of getting the EPON "upgrade" to 600 Mbps / 600 Mbps. I'm paying for the 1.1 Gbps / 1.1 Gbps upgrade over the standard HOA 600 Mbps / 600 Mbps implementation. Generally, these are large homes and have some established network infrastructure. While this is a good upgrade for most from 300 Mbps / 25 Mbps, it closes the door for future upgrades to 2 Gbps and beyond (which I'd subscribe to instantly). Just add my vote for bridge mode from whatever device Xfinity chooses to put in that can deliver 2 Gbps +. This would be a super competitive offering.

Xfinity wants us on their equipment so they can see/sell our network traffic. Sell us “advanced security” and broadcast the mobile hotspot for Xfinity mobile.

Yawn* I put it in bridge mode using the work around and it never gives a WAN IP. I remember the XB7 had an internal public WAN on their gateway and another one on the users WAN interface. Probably a combination of reasons why they don't want to implement it that way again. Someone will find a way to bypass ALL of it using one of those configurable fiber transceivers pretending to be the ONT eventually.
