I'm about to get fibre optics. My problem is that Salt, Swisscom and Sunrise don't offer a bridge mode on their fibre boxes for private customers. How can I avoid double NAT under these conditions? I understand that I'm losing interest in my ASUS router (QoS, NAT gaming, etc.) if the two devices are both doing routing. Is there a clean solution (DMZ, IP passthrough, other) that you recommend? PS: I'm doing my tests on https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat.

Helpful answer
According to my research, it all depends on the routers and their range of functions, where the suppliers ship and may not release all functions. Another option is to ask Swisscom and Sunrise and co which routers you can use yourself, as they have the most up-to-date list and must release these routers. Swisscom should also allow you to use your own router via fibre optics. As for your question, unfortunately I don't know of a reliable and guaranteed solution without bridge mode.
