Some advantages of media bridge (MB) mode compared to wireless Ethernet bridge mode include:

• MB mode will work with SDK7 ARM routers like the AC3200 / R8000 (wireless Ethernet bridge is not working/not possible).
• MB mode will work with SDK6 MIPS routers like the Asus RT-AC66U, D‑Link DIR‑865L, (wireless Ethernet bridge mode is not working/not possible).
• MB mode will work with SDK6 arm routers like Asus RT-AC68U, Netgear R7000. (wireless Ethernet bridge mode is also possible).
• IPv4 and IPv6 communication will work (wireless Ethernet bridge allows only IPv4. An except is SDK6 ARM dual-core will allow IPv6).

Note: It is advised to refrain from using 'virtual interfaces' when in Media Bridge mode.
