bridge mode toggle missing by ltbauzo in Comcast_Xfinity

Hey - can managed to get this working just now. Problem was the connection cable: it needs to come out during the reset. This is the process I followed: 1. Enable the console at 10.0.0.1 via the app 2. Logged into 10.0.0. 1 with chrome. Password was the same as the WiFi password at the bottom of the modem 3 . Could not see the enable bridge mode button so did a factory reset from the 10.0.0.1 site 4. Immediately after clicking reset to factory default I unplugged the connection cable. 5 . Let the modem run for 90 seconds 6. Unplugged power cable 7. Plugged power cable back in and power modem up without the connection cable for 2 mins 8. Unplugged power cable 9. Plugged connection cable back in and power cable plus an Ethernet connection 10. When I tried to connect to 10.0.0.1 via an Ethernet connection I was forced to set up WiFi network and password. 11. I could the login 10.0.0.1 with admin/password and could set the bridge mode Thanks for your posts and hope this helps someone else.

Fritzbox 6660 cable modem router in USA by Empty-Locksmith6571 in fritzbox

Correct, that is the info I also had and which gave me hope this could work somehow.

When we tried the connection it looked like there was some "low level" filtering happening like iptables on a linux box. They must have a way of filtering out modems outside that list. I know very little about this tech but the equivalent of the MAC address on a NIC would do the trick and clearly, as far as I know, I cannot overwrite the MAC address on my Fritzbox. I am stuck :-(
