R6300 v2 Bridge Mode
Hi everyone,
I’m a Noob but wanted to setup my R6300 as a bridge.
Essentially I have a Rogers Rocket modem router (Hitron) which is sending out my SSID 2.4 and 5GHZ.
I’m considering buying a wireless extender however I have this router and wanted to turn it into a wireless bridge. I do not want to connect this R6300 to my main router via wire, rather have it in a room further away.
I keep getting stuck. I reset the router went into advanced settings and clicked bridge mode and selected the WiFi that my other router had as 5G but it wouldn’t work and then I couldn’t get back into the router I hadn’t to reset it.
Any tips or step by step instructions?
I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!
