    I used to have TWC and was able to succesfully bridge my modem so that I could use my router. I switched to fios quantum and have a new modem. In the past when I used to have verizon, they had also sent me an extra modem, which I think might come in handy in case this newer modem revision model does not support bridge mode. Also, I don't know the default password for the Rev-I modem. (Previous modems had admin/password)

    Here are the devices I'm using:
    Asus RT-N53 (I'd like to bridge to this router)
    Actiontec MI424WR Rev-I (This is the fios quantum modem that is being used currently, not bridged)
    Actiontec MI424WR Rev-F (This is an older model, an extra unused spare)

    I've tried to bridge before with verizon and have failed in the past. Before I make any mistakes, has anyone been succesful in bridging with the new modem revision? I have a fear now of failing and disabling my internet for a long period of time..

    I was looking at this guide but don't have a Rev-D modem.
