Enable Bridge Mode - NETGEAR RAX30 User Manual

Enable bridge mode

You can use your router in bridge mode to connect multiple devices at the faster WiFi
speed. You need two routers: one set up as a router and the other set up as a bridge.
Installing your router as a bridge offers the following benefits:
• 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, 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 can install the first router in a room like a home office where your
Internet connection is located. Then, set up the second router in bridge mode and place
it in a different room such as the room where your home entertainment center is located.
Use Ethernet cables to connect the router in bridge mode to your Smart TV, DVR, game
console, or other device.
