• 

Bridge Mode 

Disabled by default . Bridge mode can 

help you grow your network and/or separate networks . It 

allows you to use multiple Routers on the same network 

by placing one of the Routers in bridge mode and 

connecting it to a port on the other Router .
Here are a few of the most common applications for 

bridge mode:
•  Connect two Routers to share network resources .
•  Use the Router as an additional access point on an 

existing network .

•  Use the Router with a fiber service .

Tap   to save your changes .

wireless network settings . Tap   to save your changes .

•

Band Steering 

Band steering directs your devices to the 

5 GHz band for higher performance . If the Router signal 

weakens, it redirects to the 2 .4 GHz band (which has 

more range) . Enabled by default, you can disable it and 

manually select 2 .4 or 5 GHz .

• 

Router Steering 

Router steering directs devices to 

connect to the Router instead of Mesh Points when 

possible (even if the Router signal is weaker) . Disabled 

by default, this feature may provide faster speeds when 

enabled in some instances .

• 

Separate Wi-Fi SSID 

Disabled by default . Select this 

option to create separate wireless networks for the 

2 .4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands . 
This may be helpful if you want more control over which 

radio band a client device uses . For example, if your device 

can use the 5 GHz radio band and it is within range, then 

the best option is to connect to the 5 GHz network .
