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.

Adding to the conversation. I need Bridgemode. Please implment otherwise I will probably have to cancel service and go back to optimum.

Comcast is forcing my HOA to upgrade to the XER10 router. Also, very annoyed at the fact that Xfinity removed our ability to enable bridge mode and will not allow us to connect directly to the ONT.
I'm joining my HOA tech committee to be involved in the upcoming HOA contract negotiations and will advocate to either adding a clause in our contract to allow residents to use their own hardware or switch to a new broadband provider for our cummunity.

I just got my 1 Gig fiber service installed today and am now learning that the XER10 does not support bridge mode. I explicitly asked when ordering the service whether I would be able to place the gateway in bridge mode and use my own router, and I was told YES. I don't appreciate being lied to. I will try the DMZ trick, but that does not excuse the lying.

I realize that. It's just a workaround to lessen some of the pitfalls. It's not a miracle cure.
The XER10 is a straight router. There is no cable modem component as a combo gateway device has. I guess they felt that it didn't need a true bridge mode function.
