ELI5- WiFi bridging?

1.05K views

Hello,

I am looking for a gaming router to use with my Fios Gigabit bundle and I keep seeing the option to do WiFi bridging in lieu of replacing the Fios supplied router with my own. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me the pros and cons or bridging vs replacing?

Thank you so much!

When you put these newfangled (and usually pretty underwhelming) modem-router combo devices into “bridge” mode, their router part gets shut down and they work like a traditional modem would – that is, they basically “go invisible” and your new router will connect directly to the ISP’s router.
