• Connect multiple devices like NAS, Smart TV, NeoTV, 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 that has your Internet
connection, then set up the second router in bridge mode. Place the router in bridge mode in
a different room that has 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.
