Set up the router in bridge mode

You can use your router in bridge mode to connect multiple devices wirelessly. You
need two routers: one set up as a router and the other set up as a bridge. Set up each
router to use the fastest speed the other router supports; for example, 802.11ac or
802.11ax (fastest).
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 or 802.11ax WiFi connection to the first router.
