Disadvantages of bridging 2 AC66U routers ?

[Wrick]

Evening all ( first post! )

I managed to Macgyver an asus router into a media bridge to my Bell (ISP) router.

Astonishingly, the supplied router from Bell is actually dual band, AC capable. Naturally, I paired the asus router into the Bell router ( I have a computer in a room which I needed gb speeds, and running a wire was physically impossible ).

Since it's paired in AC, what limitations should I be seeing ? Could other clients pair AC to the Bell router ? is bandwidth shared, or simultaneous ? Kinda curious as to how exactly a "media bridge works" and it's limitations, especially when connected to a bandwidth intensive client ( plex server... )

Thanks for your insight !

Other devices can still connect to the router. The bridge just acts like another client. Bandwidth is always shared among all devices connected to an AP's radio.
