'''Bridge''' mode bridges the LTE data connection with LAN. In this mode the router does not have an internet connection as the ISP provides an IP address directly to the end device (e.g., computer). Using Bridge mode will disable most of the router’s capabilities and you will only be able to access your router's settings with a static IP address.
