Definition:Similar to the Repeater mode, the Bridge mode is used to reinforce the exiting wireless signal. However, the very difference is that the Bridge has its own SSID and encryption type different from those of root AP.
Take CPE as an example.

Go to Quick Setup-> Choose “Bridge” -> Click Next
Step 2:
The default IP Address of CPE is 192.168.0.254,we can change it to other IP addresses to fit in the main router’s network. For example, if the main modem/router’s IP Address is 192.168.1.1,we can set up the CPE510 as 192.168.1.* (*=2~254)，Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 .
It is also fine to leave it as the default value if you are not sure about the main router’s IP address, then click Next.
Step 3:
