I would set it up in 'router' mode. Bridge mode is for a specific application for an intranet (not internet).
Bridge Mode
Router Mode
Does not block any broadcast or multicast
Blocks and provide protection against broadcast storms
Transparent bridge and can pass Non-IP protocols
Only IP protocol is supported
PPPOE protocol Pass-through
No PPPOE protocol pass-through
Able to transport VLAN tagging
Doesn't supports VLAN
No network segmentation. One broadcast domain
Network segmentation (Clients can be on different IP subnet)
Can only relay the DHCP client's request to the external DHCP server
Can Act as DHCP server & relay which Prevents IP conflict & DHCP Injection
Bridges maintains bridging table (Mac) & STP can be used to avoid loops
No STP feature; maintains routing table
External bandwidth Controller can be used to control the speed of the clients by Mac or IP address
External bandwidth Controller can be used to control the speed of the clients by IP only
In client device, it uses MAC address to associate which requires WDS compatible AP
Use SSID to associate, work with any 802.11a/b/g AP
