Operation Mode - D-Link AX1500 Product Overview

Section 3 - Configuration
Go to Settings > Operation Mode to select your operation mode. Depending on your network architecture, you can
configure the router to function as one of the following types of network device: router, extender, or bridge.
Router Mode: In this mode, the R15 directly connects to the Internet provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). All
client devices from a network group are connected and managed under this router. This is the default mode.
Bridge Mode: In this Mode, the R15 extends your existing network and improves overall Wi-Fi coverage, meaning that you
already have a router on the premises. Under this mode, the DHCP Server, Parental Control, QoS, and Firewall settings rely
on the existing router.
Extender Mode: In this mode, this device acts as an extender to connect your wireless devices, expanding Wi-Fi coverage.
It provides connectivity between various wireless devices. This can be useful if you already have an existing wireless router.
You can then manage the extender through the main router under this mode.
