Not all modems work properly in bridge mode. What modem do you have?

Have you tried running the technicolor in router modem and put the XR500 in AP mode? You loose the benefits of the xr500 but its a easy troubleshooting.

Re: XR500 randomly losing internet connection

Have you set the XR to use a static IP in Internet Setup to prevent it from changing the IP and potentially causing bridge mode to not work?
