Introduction

                A modem connects home to an Internet Service Provider's (e.g. Comcast's) network. A router connects wired and wireless devices to your modem.The Wireless RPI Gateway combine the technology of a modem and router into one equipment, thus  creating the fastest, most reliable in-home WiFi available to all rooms of the house. If in case, to use some other router in place of existing router , Wireless Gateway is giving option to disable router mode which will turns off its routing capabilities while leaving the modem capabilities on.Enabling Bridge Mode does not disable the XFINITY WiFi Home Hotspot feature.

Scope of the work

                       To disable router mode and enable brigdemode in RPI Router . It means, by default device will be in router mode. Once changed to bridge mode , Private WIFI will stop its broadcasting, Ethernet Client should get public IP address .(in erouter series)  and Wireless client will lose its connection to private WIFI.
