Using my router as an access point

Hi guys, 

I have a Cisco Linksys E1200 router. I'm trying to use this router as an access point. I've followed p.36 of this manual: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/userguide/E_Series_UG_E900Rev_3425-01486_Web.pdf which, in point 4, says to find "bridge mode" in Cisco connect. I can't find bridge mode in the settings. 

Can somebody please give me a screenshot, or direct me to exactly where bridge mode is? 

Thanks

In the Internet Connection Type drop-down list, click the type of
Internet connection provided by your ISP and select the option as Bridge mode.

Below is the screenshot and let me know If you need any other assistance.

The Firmware of your Linksys E1200 router is too old. You can get a newer at http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148523 and you can read (current firmware for version 1 is 1.0.04) but bridge support has been added on 1.0.02. Just dowload and go to Firmware update and you will the bridge facility.

Firmware 1.0.02 (build 5)
- Added bridge mode support
