It is not functioning as a router, regardless of what was on the box when you bought it. Saying you're using your own router is misleading and incorrect. The job it's doing is not the job of a router. Calling it a router when it only works because you've modify it to not be a router is deliberately misleading.

People think they cannot use their own router as this is in fact correct. The people who have actually used their own router as a router have had limited success and a number of problems. All of them who have shared there experiences here think it remains broken and are still asking for bridge mode.

People including yourself have had success in using your own wireless access point and/or network switch, but this is not the same thing. There is a major difference between the hardware itself and what you're using it for. A router with the router switched off is not working a router.

It's like saying you can use a foreign driving license in the UK. Which is only true if you want to use it as photo ID, but you can't actually drive with it (permanently), which funny enough happens to be what a driving license is for... If you can't use your driving license as a driving license, it's misleading to say you can use your driving license. It's the same for your router. If you cannot use your own router as a router then you should stop implying you're having no problems using your own router.
