Router’s PIN
field displays the PIN that you use on a registrar (for example, from the
Network Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the router’s wireless
settings through WPS.

N750 WiFi Router
Set Up the Router in Bridge Mode
You can use your N750 WiFi Router in bridge mode to connect multiple devices wirelessly. To
do this, you need two routers: one set up as a router and the other set up as a bridge.
WiFi Router in bridge mode
Smart WiFi Router
Figure 9. Router in bridge mode with a 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 like a home office where your Internet
connection is. Then set up the second router in bridge mode. Then place the router in bridge
mode in a different 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 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).
2.
On the router that will run in bridge mode, launch a web browser from a computer or
wireless device that is connected to the network.
