Does the MR6150 support bridge mode and IPv6 prefix delegation?

I have yet to find a 4G or 5G solution which has these basic features to act as a WAN source for a gateway/firewall such as pfSense.
Bridge mode is critical to prevent double-NATing and IPv6 delegation is standard procedure for wired ISPs.

It has IP Passthrough function, which is I think similar to bridge mode. In this mode, the WiFi is disabled. You can access the MR6150 via the original DCHP address (default is 192.168.1.1). The WAN IP of your router will be whatever the modem in the MR6150 gets from the tower.

The term "bridge mode" means different things depending on the context.
For regular routers it usually means using to as a wifi repeater to use a wifeless link to "bridge" the gap between two routers.
This only works if the two devices are designed ti support that function.
I'm not sure if you are asking for help, or suggesting a new feature for Netgear's mobile routers. If so, start here:
