LB1120 Bridge Mode Web interface access
Quick question - with the modem in bridge mode and the ethernet port connected to the WAN port of a router, the WAN port of the router picks up the IP address from the cellular provider as expected. ...

Not sure what you mean by the bridge mode subnet bug, but if you mean what I was asking in my original question:
I have a Sophos UTM that I use for the internal router.
On the Sophos, I created a new network definition that was 192.168.5.0 mask 255.255.255.0.
I then created a static route for the 192.168.5.0 network and pointed it at the interface where the Netgear is plugged in.
I created a firewall rule that allows traffic between my internal network and the 192.168.5.0 network.
This seems to work OK for me.
I would guess you could also put a small switch between the netgear and the router, and plug a laptop into the switch after assigning it's IP to 192.168.5.2 and access it that way. Haven't tried that.

how did you create that firewall rule?
I have asus router 192.168.1.1/24
LB1110 bridged 192.168.5.1/24
static route on 192.168.5.0 - 192.168.1.1
I have access to the internet and everything is working fine.
I can have access to the LB1110 configuration page from inside the lan by typing its IP address in a web browser, but I can’t reach it from the internet.
I have many firewall rules to have access to all my devices from outside the LAN (internet) but still no have access to the modem configuration page.
what can I do?

My concern was accessing it from inside my network on the other side of my Sophos UTM device. I have no need or desire to accesss the modem from outside my network.
