I also face the same issue with my netgear R7000 - i cannot access my modem default IP but as soon as I connect directly via LAN cable it works (DHCP is enabled on the modem).

When I was on non-bridge mode I was able to access the modem via my router so I dont know what is happening in bridge mode.

In bridge mode, WLAN is disabled completely. And you can only access the web interface via LAN on the LAN port that's not bound to the bridge interface.

The whole point of "bridge" is to make it work like a pure ONT that is, a simple media converter.
 
@Dark_Nate but I am able to access the ONT in bridge mode if I connect my PC to it directly via LAN cable while it is still in bridge mode. So something is lost in translation with the router being in the picture, I dunno.
 
As I have mentioned in other posts, you'd need to configure an alias interface on the same port and assign an IP address in the management subnet. This can be easily done in OpenWRT or any custom firmware. Not sure if it's possible with the default OEM firmwares.

@partymonger @vishalrao

This is simply telling the device how to reach the management UI. This creates the appropriate routes allowing you to reach the modem IP address. Some devices accept incoming requests to the management portal only from an IP address in management subnet as source, so in that case, you'd need to enable NAT for that alias interface as well.

Again, this may not be feasible on stock firmware.

It can be very much accessed from the exact same port. There is absolutely no issues in that, you just need to configure it appropriately so that the devices know how to reach the management interface.
