Use the Router in Bridge Mode
You can use your router in bridge mode to connect multiple devices with WiFi at the faster 802.11ac
speed. To do this, you need two WiFi routers: one set up as a router and the other set up as a bridge.
Figure 13. Router in bridge mode with an 802.11ac WiFi connection
Installing your router as a bridge offers the following benefits:
•
You can 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, 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 could install the first router in a room such as 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 such
as the room where your home entertainment center is located. 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.
