Set Up The Router In Bridge Mode - NETGEAR R9000 User Manual

6. Select the AP Mode radio button.
The page adjusts.
7. Select an IP address setting:
• Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns an IP address to
this router while this router is in AP mode.
• Use fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if you want to manually
assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. Using this option effectively requires
advanced network experience.
Note To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, NETGEAR
recommends that you use different WiFi settings on each router. You can also turn
off the WiFi radio on the other router or gateway and use the R9000 router only for
WiFi client access.
8. Click the Apply button.
The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected.
9. To reconnect, close and restart your browser and type http://www.routerlogin.net.

Set Up the Router in Bridge Mode

You can use your router in bridge mode to connect multiple devices wirelessly at the faster 802.11ac 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.
