BRIDGING ISSUE WITH C7100V NIGHTHAWK AC1900 WIFI CABLE MODEM ROUTER
The above model with the most updated firmware version of V2.01.30 Cannot be bridged. After numerous calls to netgear support, i was finally told by a Linksy's tech, who went above and beyond for me, that this model number cannot be bridged , that it does not have a NAT mode. The Time spent in order to find out the realization that this model cannot be bridged has been an extremely frustrating one. I even had a netgear manager tell me to downgrade my FirmWare Version. I am wondering can someone recommend a Modem/Router (that has phone/voice capability and ports) that is just as good or better than this model? Or Does Netgear offer another model that can be bridged?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Have you tired "NAT MODE OFF" setting? it should be there in Advance GUI page.
also, there is new product out CM500V with voice and it is just a plain bridged modem.
I'm in bridged mode with a C7100V and Firmware Version 2.01.30, so it definitely can be done.
Try Advanced > Administration > Router Mode
Check "No".
I just bought a Netgear C7100V cable modem to use with Comcast Network.
What i did to get it to work in Bridge mode is: In configuration mode go into advance look for gateway, there is another (options or check box right beside the Gateway.
Move over from Gateway check box to the next, that will put you into bridge mode.
save your settings.
My problem now if i used 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.0.1 I'm not been allowed to get back into the modem.
After setting your modem to Bridge mode you have to boot both Router and switch.
I'm using Cisco 1941 Router and a Cisco 3560 Switch.
good luck.
