C7800 bridge mode

Hi ,

 

I am having problems with my C7800 modem/router.

 

I can't seem to find the Bridge mode?

 

Can someone help?

 

Thank you

       I don't see it in the User Manual.  Why do you want this?

      I had to move my router next to my computer, so i can have a wired connection.  Now there are dead spots in my house and weak connections. 

       

      I want to get a mesh network, so i want to turn off the wireless on my router/modem.

           So, presumably, running an Ethernet cable from the old location of
        the C7800 to this computer was not convenient?  (There exist Powerline
        devices which can use the building electrical wiring to emulate an
        Ethernet cable.)

           That you can do.  Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your
        model number, and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look
        for "Control the WiFi Radios".  But, even if you do that, it will still
        be a router.

           Why not leave the C7800 as it is, and add a wireless access point or
        an extender?
