Set Up the Router in Bridge Mode
You can use your router in bridge mode to connect multiple devices wirelessly at the
faster 802.11ax speed. You need two routers: one set up as a router and the other set
up as a bridge.
Installing your router as a bridge offers the following benefits:
•
Take advantage of gigabit WiFi speeds on current devices
•
Use Gigabit WiFi for applications like video and gaming.
•
Connect multiple devices like NAS, Smart TV, Blu-ray player, and game consoles at
gigabit WiFi speeds using a WiFi link.
•
Avoid the need for separate WiFi adapters for each device.
For example, you can install the first router in a room like a home office where your
Internet connection is located, then set up the second router in bridge mode. Place the
router in bridge mode in a different room with your home entertainment center. Cable
the router in bridge mode to your Smart TV, DVR, game console or Blu-ray player, and
use its 802.11ac WiFi connection to the first router.
To set up the router in bridge mode:
1. Make a note of the WiFi settings of the other router to which this router will connect.
You must know the SSID, WiFi security mode, wireless password, and operating
frequency (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
network.
