Greenpacket E5-250MA (26839) 'Passthrough' (factory = 'Routed') VS desired Bridge MODE (hidden) pls?

Hi,

As per the Subject line, please can the 'Passthrough' functionality explained, is this the equivalent of Bridge mode? The need is to set the device to bridge, and this seems to work except the device cannot be accessed from within the network when set to static IP address, however this address functions as a gateway seemingly OK. The device can be pinged as well but not accessed via https for some reason? Also missing is 'Update subsection', seems like hidden or disabled. Additionally, when setting to 'Passthrough' with the default DHCP and IP config, the device will give out a public IP address to the DHCP client, however, this only started happening after some testing and a number of restarts, so may not have taken effect for a while because it was giving out the correct internal IP address from the local DHCP range at first so essentilally no change from 'Routing'.

This is a 2nd device I have run into bridge mode issues with, the other one was the previous MC888 that with the particular firmware at least, was confusing the hell out of the network with it's broadcast traffic - it was accessible on the IP address though but made the other traffic time out, etc, understood to be a known issue others have reported (possible workaround setting the router IP address to a different IP address range, etc.?

Many thanks
