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...

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

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

      Firmware Version NTG9X50C_12.05.05.12

      ATT-WIFI-563L

      Model MR1100

      I assumed I was not getting a IP number for the web because the blue connect light stayed orange unitl I did a factory reset. If it not in bridge mode and my wifi router is in Bridge mode to prevent double NATing, The IPV4 address is 10.181.216.71 With Gateway 192.168.1.1 and Mask of 255.255.255.0

        Did you ever get this to work?  I am having the exact same issue.  Did performing a factory reset get it to start blinking blue and work?
