I've used it on two networks with no modification, so there is no static IP. The DHCP server does not list any IP assigned for the wireless router. I used Nmap to scan the current subnet. It reports the only http / https server is the VDSL modem.
The purpose of bridge mode is for the router to solely provide wireless access to the network it is plugged into (which it has done wonderfully). I recall there is some "magic name" that it will respond to after being put into bridge mode, unfortunately I don't remember what that is... :-\ I guess I will have to reset it and reconfigure to find out.
