- I can't, once I apply the settings for bridge mode it logs me out of the router & is inable to sign back in. I have to factory reset in order to sign in & setup router with default settings all over again. At that time it just says disconnected no internet access.
If you set a static IP while in the same range on the R7800 for bridge mode as the host routers IP address pool range, you can access the R7800 while in bridge mode using the IP address you input for static IP. I used 192.168.#.78.
