XR300 AP Mode

Hello All,

 

I just recently purchased the Nighthawk xr300.  My setup is that I have a BGW210 Gateway (AT&T is my ISP).  I have the gateway in Bridge Mode.  I am on Fiber Channet (1GB speed).  My nighthawk was in router mode.  My network speed for all of my computers was ~60MB.  After trying numerous settings adjustments, I enabled AP mode on the nighthawk and now my speeds are ~250mb which is great, but I lose the capability of monitoring (as well as other functions) my network via the nighthawk.  Has anyone had any success (getting speeds over 200MB) in using their nighthawk in router mode and have a setup like mine with the AT&T gateway in bridge mode?
