I'm glad they're finally doing bridge mode in more than a couple devices.

It seems like there is something with how they're detecting the connection when they're setup. I'm not doing anything special. DHCP Assigns a Public IP Address from the tower. Although it seems to be more of an issue with EPMP than FSK/450. Has anyone else seen this, or Dug deeper into it? Last night I was working with a Customer who had an Netgear N300 that was in bridge mode (Customer and router <1 week old). I had him Default the router, and it came up in router mode (Single MAC in the bridge table, and got a DHCP Lease). He said his computer was connected to the WIFI, but was showing limited connection. He's never logged into the router, so I don't think he changed the setup. This morning, it's back in bridge mode. I'm sending him a RB951 to get him online, but why would the router choose bridge mode? I think I've also seen this with a Linksys, but I thought the customer had done something before I got there. Now I'm not sure.
