NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 Router Into the Bridge Mode

Netgear N300 Bridge Mode:

A wireless router is usually set in bridge mode to increase the signal strength or range of connectivity. When you use a new router or upgrade to a much faster router, you do not have to throw your old router.

You can use your Netgear N300 router in bridge mode by disabling the internal DHCP server. If your old router is not providing you with enough signal strength, it can be used as a bridge to boost the signals for your new router. Let’s now look at the process to convert Netgear N3oo into bridge mode.
