I understand that the 865L only supports bridge(wireless) mode currently, which means I could only make use of the RJ45 ports on its end after bridging. Could I check if there is a custom firmware that could turn the 865L into a range extender instead? I am hoping to use it to improve the signal of mobile devices, as it is sitting in my closet without a purpose at the moment.

If you are connecting the DIR-865L router to an existing router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following to the DIR-865L before connecting it to your network:
•Disable UPnP
•Disable DHCP
•Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router.
