placing CAX80 in bridge mode

How do I place my CAX80 in bridge mode, so it behaves like a switch, not a router. I will use my enterprise router downstream. I checked the Netgear user manual but no help there.   Thanks!

That is good to hear! In bridge mode... did you test getting multiple public ipv4 passed to the ports on the back of the modem? This would be gold if you did!

You only get multiple WAN IP addresses IF the ISP supports that. Most don't.
