R6250 modem
Really two questions......1) can the wireless radio be activated when router is placed in bridge mode and if so how......and 2) unable to get router to connect with signal from ATT Uverse Pace Modem 5268AC when placed in bridge mode.....I am successful in wirelessly bridging this router to a d link router so I know the procedure.....any ideas or thoughts on either of these two questions would be appreciated.
thank you
Hi johnml58,
1. The R6250 is a router and not a modem.
2. Setting it up in bridge mode will only allow you to connect devices via the Ethernet ports as described on page 95 of the user manual linked below.
