Bridge Mode?
Does this modem come from the factory in Bridge mode? I'm having problums port forwarding. I have set up the netgear router (AC1200) with no luck on any ports. I did the activation thru Xfinity.
So this modem can not be put in Bridge mode? Therefor I can never port forward? I know it is not a router but if the modem is
not in bridge mode my router will not port forward because the modem is blocking. Thanks for the reply.
The CM does not have any router or NAT, so it doesn't need or support bridging. If you connect a wifi router, then you can do your port forwarding there. The modem isn't blocking any ports.
Bridge mode is only seen and used on modems with Built in router. The model you have doesn't have a router built in.
