D8500 - Bridge Mode option doesn't appear
Help please - D8500 Nighthawk AC5300 Wifi Modem Router
"use other operation mode" check box and enable bridge mode radio button are not showing in the Advanced>Advanced Setup>Wireless Settings menu. Can't locate in any other menu either - what I am missing?
Trying to use in bridge mode rather than AP
Latest firmware installed V1.0.3.42_1.0.1
Bridge mode can mean several things. Modem only mode to feed a router, wifi bridge to be a repeater. Which are you after?
There is a manual for the D8500 somewhere at the end of this link:
