This is one of the best videos i’ve watched that clearly explain how and what bridge mode is on a router. Before my internet speed was 20-30 mbps at about a 250 ft distance from the main router, now i’m getting easily 190-210 mbps.
Awesome explanation.. I had run a 100ft ethernet across the floor for a temporary solution until i realized this router could do bridge mode 🤣 I could've been doing this the whole time!
you are a legend mate i've been trying to get this working for months and thanks to you I'm posting this comment from my bridged connection Thank You very much!!!!
Thank you so much - we moved to a new place and the wifi couldn't reach my office in the top corner of the house. Used an extra router and used your video to connect them - works great! Appreciate it!
Thank you for the great tutorial! I'm surprised it was this easy to setup! haha. Look forward to see if I can get it to work on my R8000 with AdvancedTomato. If not, I could always use the stock firmware like you mentioned.
Your video is better than most. Fortunate;y I understand wireless bridging but my question is: How do 'you' configure MU MiMo in a wireless network Bridge? And is MU MiIMO of any benefit on the BRIDGE router }(second router) in this configuration?
I am getting no internet on the secondary R7000 in bridge mode. It seems it's not connecting to my WiFi network as I don't see it in the list there. I have an Edge Router X as my router, connecting via Ethernet through a dumb switch to my AP, Ubiquity AC-Pro. Other devices are connected to the WiFi, but the R7000 when configured into Bridge mode is not passing through the internet to the wired devices... Been trying to solve this for 8 hours today any help is very appreciated.
Hello, I've successfully turned my Netgear router to bridge mode. My question is can I hook up the cable from the bridge router to another Netgear router (Wan port) and create a subnet through that 2nd router? So basically at my business, the landlord is providing Wifi, if I connect all my devices through that Wifi, then my neighbors are able to see the devices, like cameras, printers, etc. I don't want them exposed. So is it possible to hide them if I created that LAN behind the wifi bridge?
So will this work for all Netgear router so like my main router is the Netgear nighthawk R7800 and wanted to have the second router 225 feet away and the second on is Netgear will just say it's your router R7000 will they Link up or do they have to be the same R7800 with a R7800????? Thanks 👍
Can you do this setup to have the secondary router as an access point ... so you can get wireless connectivity also? This video is great ... do you have one on a wireless access point setup?
Did you find any answers on your question? AP and also have wifi? Mine is worki In AP mode but with no wifi, only Ethernet. I am also wondering- thanks
I have an Asus modem router DSL-AX82U . It has Iptv bridge and tagged to LAN1 ethernet port for my iptv box. I can only watch iptv via ethernet cable to port 1 . Can I convert this connection with media bridge ? How should I carry LAN1 to another router and connect to my IPTV? Thank you.
@@DreamlandUSA I followed the instruction on setting up as a repeater but was concerned with the security. I have two Netgear R7000. I wanted to see if I could have set one R7000 as a base unit and the other R7000 as a repeater. I did it without connecting to the internet. It worked fine but discovered setting as a repeater is no security. So, I reset the R7000 base unit, all went well, but the R7000 repeater unit is now stock is in the loop, will not boot. I am not able to reset because the repeater unit keeps trying to reboot every few minutes, the unit never boots up in order to reset. Even in this condition, I tried pressing the reset button, first 7 seconds, then 30 seconds then 30/30/30 30 reset 30 reset with power off than 30 seconds reset with power on. Any anyone has any suggestions on how I can reset into factory settings?
This didnt help me after a point. i have set my secondary into bridge mode but i do not get any internet access. when in bridge mode under the ADVANCED tab in the genie there is Administration then Gateway Status - this shows a screen showing the status of for example Wireless Settings 2.4gh and wireless settings 5GHz Both of then are RED EXES because once in bridge mode, wireless no longer is active on router 2. So how do i connect router 2 to MAIN router wirelessly WITH NO CABLES ?
This video seems confusimg too me as when i did bridge mode between a NightHawk And Linksys Velop Mesh Wifi 5. My wifi on my cellphone will get signal from whichever device il closest to as they are cloned. AP mode was far diffrent
My Netgear nighthawk is in Bridge mode and I want to convert it back to router mode but I cannot log in as it is not broadcasting, I tried an ethernet cable but the log in page is still now showing. Can you help?
@@DreamlandUSA quick question I have a ST 302-08 8-port 10/100 managed switch could that switch use to power ip cameras? Cause I tried but they won't power up.
Login to your Primary Router, and from the list of Devices Connected within DHCP pool, this WirelessBridge auto assigned IP address shall be traceable. The IP address can then be used to access the SecondaryRouter GUI . (you may want to set to 'Reserved' the IP exclusively static to this SecondaryRouter in the DHCP list, for ease in the future)

Very helpful. This was the video I needed. Thank you
Thank you for this explanation, worked perfectly!

Great video now you can move router 2 to any room without any cables to lan ports or power line adapters?
ty so much, i spend the whole fucking day trying to conect my router and nothing, then i find ur video and .... damm MAN TY SO MUCH
It’s pleasure to know it worked for you !
Thank you ❤
Hey mate, thanks for that tutorial. Can you make 2.4 and 5 available at the same time in bridge mode? I can only seem to have 5Ghz.. Thank you
Will the USB ports on the secondary router work in bridge mode? Trying to set up a printer server using an old Asus router that has USB ports.
Works
Please tell that the imternet is coming from secondary router you are using it through ethernet can we use it wirelessly.

i thought bridge would make the 2nd router an extra wifi access point .. i don't get the repeater mode on my R6700v2
Can i use Nighthawk R6900v2 with Linksya. Velop all wireless? All o can figure out is bridge mode but i want to use all wireless devices

Get another router and connect it into one of the outputs of the Bridge mode router. You'll have 3 routers total.
Most probably to do
WDS Bridging or alternatively, Repeater Mode.
There is any way to connect through the wifi of the secondary router. I want a completely wireless method.

I set mine up, but now I am getting a DNS error from my XBOX when connected, any suggestions?
Followed all the steps but internet still says off when I go to the new dynamic ip. Any wonder why that could be?
Nice explanation. one question , if AP mode other devices can connect thru LAN and wifi to secondary Router , can we in Bridge mode ?
In AP mode other devices can connect through Lan and WiFi both. But in bridge mode devices can be connected only using lan

Turn off router. Press and hold reset button. Turn on router. Hold reset button down for 10 seconds. Release reset button.
Xvortex firmvare ,setings,repiter mode,and get wifi and lan ports working,no cable
This didnt help me after a point.
i have set my secondary into bridge mode but i do not get any internet access.
when in bridge mode
under the ADVANCED tab in the genie
there is
Administration
then Gateway Status - this shows a screen showing the status of for example
Wireless Settings 2.4gh
and
wireless settings 5GHz
Both of then are RED EXES because once in bridge mode, wireless no longer is active on router 2.
So how do i connect router 2 to MAIN router wirelessly WITH NO CABLES ?
I have that screen but I don’t see Bridgewood mood. I have a brand new router and ask what I’m doing wrong.
Can the primary router be 5g and the secondary be 2.4 g?
My nighthawk r8300 doesn’t have the “router/ bridge/ extender” option. It only says “ap”.
If you are still looking, on my R8500, it is at the bottom of that menu, and it says "Use other operation mode". Then you click "Enable Bridge mode".
@@christianfriley I’m having the same issue, but unfortunately I don’t see a “use other operation mode” and still can’t use bridge settings
This video seems confusimg too me as when i did bridge mode between a NightHawk And Linksys Velop Mesh Wifi 5. My wifi on my cellphone will get signal from whichever device il closest to as they are cloned.
AP mode was far diffrent
I want to be able to access my udmp from my modem network.
I turned on Bridge Mode now I can't access the site for my router settings, and don't know how to turn it off
My Netgear nighthawk is in Bridge mode and I want to convert it back to router mode but I cannot log in as it is not broadcasting, I tried an ethernet cable but the log in page is still now showing.
Can you help?
You need to do network scan and find ip of your router
So on the secondary router that was bridge , could I hand an AP to that router.
Yes you can add additional router on secondary and make a new access point
@@DreamlandUSA quick question I have a ST 302-08 8-port 10/100 managed switch could that switch use to power ip cameras? Cause I tried but they won't power up.
Hi, the output from second router is only wired. I was expecting it to be wireless as well
That is repeater mode that connects two routers wirelessly and at the same time enables another hotspot to connect wirelessly
@@DreamlandUSA thanks for the reply, do we have the mode option available in netagear router. I have model r6260
Hello, I'm Bridge mode, the External antennas are primary importance or can I remove it? Thanks
They are needed to send the signal
My router doesn’t have that option in advanced t just has bridge settings. I set them, apply and nothing changes 🤦♂️
Ethernet cord not getting no Internet
Where to go to to type in arp-a?
Into terminal. And make sure there is a space before the "-a".
It’s not clear how I can sign in to second router. Now I can’t check anything for second router.
