New features to the firmware will take more time to do than feature fixes.

I be amazed if there is no such thing as a bridge mode on the original model.
This would indicate either.
1 - no original stock firmware existed when VM made the order, maybe this was a new just out of dev model.
2 - a unusual development path, I suppose not too surprising when consider its crappygear.
Netgear consistently are low priced router's tend to be good for low budget's when looking at what to buy so VM seemed to have gone with the cheapest quote.
Bridge mode is not that complicated,its basically disabling NAT, firewall, and adding some kind of passthru DHCP function so the connecting device gets the net ip automatically. After that its cosmetic stuff to change in the gui accordingly so people cant configure things like port forwarding which wouldnt do anything on it in bridge mode. On a normal router which has no direct bridge mode option its usually possible to do it manually by doing as I said in terms of disabling NAT.
