3. Select the check boxes corresponding to the connection names that you want to
bridge, or clear the check boxes of connections that you do not want to bridge.
4. Select the ‘Bridge Hardware Acceleration’ check box to utilize the Fastpath algorithm,
which enhances packet flow, resulting in faster communication between the LAN and
the WAN (excluding the wireless connection).
5. Select the 'STP' check box to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the device.

apart from those created by the device
