OK I found the routerlogin.net advanced mode and saw the AP mode and chose that and now all my devices are on  the same networks, the 192.168.1.x  

 

I see that in addition to Router Mode and AP Mode there is a Bridge Mode but it's not clear why I would choose AP Mode over Bridge Mode or vice versa.  

 

AP Mode works for me, but what have I given up with this and would it be different in Bridge Mode? 

 

Thanks

You don't want bridge mode. Bridge mode literally turns it into a wireless bridge. The one in bridge mode's wireless is only usable for the connection to the router.
