Bridge Mode - D-Link DIR-865L User Manual

After enabling the Bridge Mode, on the Internet page, this page will
change to what we see here. On this page we can configure the wireless
network settings to scan for available wireless networks, using the Wire-
less Bridge functionality and then connect to them.
Bridge Mode allows wireless and non-wireless network devices to con-
nect to an existing DIR-865L, in Router Mode, through the means of
another DIR-865L, in Bridge Mode.
This will allow wireless and non-wireless network appliances to con-
nect to the DIR-865L, in Router Mode, at the maximum wireless speed
available for 802.11ac, by simple connecting to the DIR-865L, in Bridge
Mode, with an Ethernet cable.
There can be multiple DIR-865L units, in Bridge Mode, that can connect
to the central DIR-865L, in Router Mode. This gives users extra flexibility
and compatibility.
