AC1750 Smart WiFi Router Model R6350 Setting up a WiFi bridge with two routers offers the following benefits: • You can take advantage of gigabit WiFi speeds on current devices. • Use gigabit WiFi for applications such as video and gaming. • Connect multiple devices such as a 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 as a WiFi bridge and place it in a different room such as the room where your home entertainment center is located. Cable the router that functions as a WiFi bridge to your Smart TV, DVR, game console, or Blu-ray player, and use its 802.11ac WiFi connection to the first router. The router that is connected to the Internet modem does not require any special setup because the router that functions as a WiFi bridge connects to an existing SSID as a WiFi client, just like any other WiFi clients. To set up the router as a WiFi bridge: 1. Make a note of the WiFi settings of the other router that is connected to the Internet modem. You must know the SSID, WiFi security mode, WiFi password, and operating frequency (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). 2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network of the router that you are setting up as a WiFi bridge. 3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 4. Enter the router user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Advanced Wireless Settings. The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays. 6. Scroll to the very bottom and select the Use other operation mode check box. 7. Select the Enable Bridge mode radio button. The bridge mode settings displays on the page. 8. Click the setup bridge mode wireless settings button. Manage the Advanced WiFi 162 Features User Manual
