Your settings are saved. The router restarts with a new IP address.
14. To reconnect, close your browser, relaunch it, and log in to the router by entering
http://www.routerlogin.net.
When the router functions as a WiFi bridge, you cannot change its WiFi settings, that is, the settings on
the Wireless Network page (BASIC > Wireless) are masked out. However, if you want to reverse the
configuration, you can disable the WiFi bridge option (that is, clear the use other operation mode
check box) on the Advanced Wireless Settings page (ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Advanced
Wireless Settings).

Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point Only

By default, the router functions as both a router and a WiFi access point (AP). You can set up the router to
function as an access point only and let it operate in the same local network as another router. When the
router functions as an access point only, many of its router-related features are disabled.
Tip If you want to change the router's function, use a wired connection to avoid being
disconnected when the new function takes effect.
To change the router to access point mode only:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the yellow Internet port on the rear panel of the router to a LAN port
on the other router.
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
4. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Access Point.
The Wireless Access Point page displays.
6. Select the Enable Access Point Mode check box.
The page expands.
7. Scroll down and select the radio button for the IP address setting that you want to use:
• Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns an IP address to
the router while the router functions in access point mode. This is the default setting.
• Use fixed IP Address (not recommended). Use this setting if you want to manually assign a specific
IP address to the router while it functions in access point mode. Using this option effectively requires
network experience.
