In bridge mode it's virtually a pass-through from input to output as direct as it can be, becoming just some kind of media converter (from ISP using fibre/cable/DSL to your ethernet). It's a mode that makes virtually no sense if it's ethernet in and out, you could just plug your computer straight into the wall, instead. All the other things are bypassed (it's no longer a router). A device *could* still have a web server that responds to the LAN side for reconfiguration, on a local network IP. I had a device with what it called bridge mode, but what it really seemed to do is switch from router mode to being an ethernet switch. I could still log into its webserver, and see that almost all configuration options were ghosted out. > If all fails your provider can access the router from their end.

If your ISP can remotely reconfigure your device, surely it's vulnerable to hackers doing the same kind of thing. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.118.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 24 16:01:50 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
