Bridging Mode - MI424WR Rev f

I tried to put my Fios router into bridge mode and use my own router on LAN side.

I followed instruction according to »Re: MI424WR-GEN2 Rev E Configuration Thread but I can't get TV VOD, guide, and widget part to work.

The only thing I can think of is that when setting up new bridge on MI424WR, it's on "Routes" mode instead of "NAPT" mode. I can't choose NAPT mode because the router doesn't let me select it, only "Router" mode shows up on drop-down box.

Also there's no "STP" box right of COAX like Broadband(Ethernet) has.

My Fios router is MI424WR rev f with firmware 20-20-8 if I'm not mistaken.

Do I need to downgrade firmware or try to get different revision router?

Thanks.

Yes I am having the same problem with this setup. I have reset the router multiple times but there is no STP checkbox for the coax. Is this a concern?

I too don't have the STP checkbox available beside Broadband Connection (coax) in Network (Home/Office) settings. Am also using a Rev F router and it's an odd omission unfortunetly. Can't help but wonder if this was an attempt to stop people from bridging the modem. Anyway, I'm hoping there's an alternate way to bridge as I can't run eithernet down to the ONT. :/
