You have to change from router mode to Bridge mode. Then you'll need to connect the bridge mode using 192.168.0.50 using a wired PC connected to the 868L in bridge mode. PC will need to be set up for a static IP address temporarily, 192.168.0.49 so you can access the 868L while connected to it in bridge mode. Log in and use the wireless to scan for SSIDs to connect it to. Select an SSID, then input the SSID password. Save settings. The 868L should connect and then any LAN wired devices connected to the 868L in bridge mode will get connectivity from the 868L in bridge mode.

I connected many things to the bridged router and they all get internet instantly. What I cannot get is wifi from the bridged router. Is that not possible?
Thanks.

Bridge mode only supports connections from itself to the main source AP it's connected to. It doesn't broadcast any AP mode signals for clients to connect to when in bridge mode.

I think so, I haven't tried it...I can since mine is working in bridge mode. I'll try this tonight and report back what I find. It may only connect to the local LAN for resources.

Rev B of the DIR-868L has a new UI, If Bridge mode is supported on Rev B, it should be under Internet/Settings type drop down menu I believe. If you don't see Bridge mode and you see AP mode, then bridge mode is not support on Rev B DIR-868L.

If you need something that has bridge mode, please review a listing of available models that support it here:
 Bridge Mode vs Relay vs Access Point (AP) / Routers vs Dedicated Access Points (AP)

Good Luck.  ;)

Hi,
I am sorry to dig out this old thread, I want to connect one of the wireless router to the other router that is cable type with wireless capability placed at hall. How to config the wireless router dlink 868L with wireless bridge capability to connect the wireless network from the cable wireless modem and transmit the signal via lan cable plug into a desktop? can give a detail in sight?


You have to change from router mode to Bridge mode. Then you'll need to connect the bridge mode using 192.168.0.50 using a wired PC connected to the 868L in bridge mode. PC will need to be set up for a static IP address temporarily, 192.168.0.49 so you can access the 868L while connected to it in bridge mode.
