Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router Model R6900v2
The router that is connected to the Internet modem does not require any special setup because the router
that functions as a WiFi bridge connects to an existing SSID as a WiFi client, just like any other WiFi clients.
To set up the router as a WiFi bridge:
1. Make a note of the WiFi settings of the other router that is connected to the Internet modem.
You must know the SSID, WiFi security mode, WiFi password, and operating frequency (either 2.4 GHz
or 5 GHz).
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network of the router
that you are setting up as a WiFi bridge.
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.

The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
