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.

Figure 12. Router in bridge mode with an 802.11ac WiFi connection
Installing your R7000 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, 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.
To set up bridge mode:
1.
Make a note of the WiFi settings of the other router to which this router will connect.
You need to know the SSID, WiFi security mode, wireless password, and operating
frequency (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
