Bridge Mode
Bridge Mode disables all router capabilities and turns the router into an access point. The
router will cease to act as a DHCP server and its built-in firewall as well as the NAT features
will no longer be in effect.
•
Wireless Bridge
A wireless bridge wirelessly connects to your main router and can share the internet
connection with devices connected to the bridge's Ethernet ports.

Basic Wireless Settings

EasyMesh Settings
If one router isn't providing whole-home Wi-Fi coverage, you can turn on the EasyMesh feature and
add more E5600 routers to your network. Once the feature is turned on by checking the box for Easy
Mesh Parent Node, the router connected to your modem becomes the parent node in your mesh
network. Add child nodes by clicking ''Add a new node.'' Then, press the WPS button on your child node
for 3 seconds. Connecting a child node should take between 70~80 seconds in most cases. You can
check the progress on the parent node's setting screen.
Once the child node is added, click Mesh information to see node and the devices connected to them
for the entire mesh network.
If a child node fails to join your network, move the child node closer to the parent node. Follow the
prompts on the parent node's settings screen to try again.
