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:

    By the way, you have posted your message in the section of this community given over to
    Nighthawk WiFi Routers

    The D8500  is a DSL Modem/Router.
