Don't know.....it's usually when there's a private IP on the WAN interface.
Router firmware bug?

I've been running into issues recently with SOHO routers deciding that
they need to be in Bridge mode instead of Nat Mode. 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.
