How to use a router as an access point

If you have a large area to cover with your wireless signal, or if part of your home has weak signals
due to interference, you can use this router to extend the range of your old router's wireless network.
To set up your new router as an access point:
1. Use a network cable to connect this router's Internet port to the Ethernet or LAN port on the
router that is connected to your modem.
2. Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See ''How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi'' on page 10.)
3. Under Router Settings, click Connectivity, then click the Internet Settings tab.
4. Click IPv4.
5. For Type of Internet Connection, select Bridge Mode.
6. Click Obtain an IPv4 address automatically, then click Ok. The new router's LAN IP address
will be changed and obtained from the router that is connected to your modem.
You can also use your old router to extend the range of your wireless network. This is a complex
process, so this procedure assumes that you have some networking knowledge.
Tip---- - Check the documentation for your old router. Some brands of routers include either a switch on
the outside of the case or a software option to convert it to an access point. If either of these options
is available, follow your old router's instructions to convert it to an access point.
