A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

I.e. The charter device/router is already in bridge mode.
Gave the user get network status/display ip if it is anything other than 10.x.x.x 172.16-31.x.x or 192.168.x.x they have a public ip, and have to go though the network and disable/disallow SNMP port access from everything.
Alternatively, check with charter what mode us their device in routed/bridged? I think they should be able to tell you.
