Use The Router In Bridge Mode - NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S User Manual

5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP.
6. Select the Enable AP Mode check box.
7. Scroll down and select an IP address setting:
• Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns an IP address to this router
while this router is in AP mode.
• Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if you want to manually
assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. Using this option effectively requires advanced
network experience.
Note To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, NETGEAR recommends
that you use different WiFi settings on each router. You can also turn off the WiFi radio on
the other router or gateway and use the R7800 router only for WiFi client access.
8. Click the Apply button.
The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected.
9. To reconnect, close and restart your browser and type http://www.routerlogin.net.

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.
