Using AT&T Nighthawk MR1100 in Bridge mode

If I put the MR1100 in bridge mode, can I connect a wifi router with an ethernet cable and access AT&T cell tower data. I can put the wifi router in bridge mode and avoid double NAT but I really need the extra features of the wifi modem. I can conect to a DSL router in bridge mode using PPPoE but don't have a clue how to make the MR1100 work. I think AT&T is using a Class A for the MR1100 IP. Thanks

      Thanks for the reply I finally discovered how to put the MR1100 in bridge or pass through mode. Ethernet ports works but the MR1100 does not supply internet access. The light blinks orange, I thought that might be because it's in bridge mode but I could login to the MR1100 even take it out of pass through/bridge mode but could not surf. The MR1100 would connect to a Linksys EA9300 but still not internet access. It an AT&t SIM. Should not the light turn blue with the MR1100 in bridge mode? Thanks

        Hi N4KHQ

         

        What is the IP address when connected to MR1100? 

        May we please know the exact model and firmware version of MR1100?
