The two AirStations are now linked by a wireless bridge. Unplug all the network cables
and test the bridge by logging into each of the access points with a wireless client. You
should be able to connect to either of the access points from Windows Wireless Network
connection, getting an IP address assigned to your client with no error messages. You
should also be able to log into both of their Web-Based Configuration Utilities by
entering their IP addresses into a web browser (192.168.11.1 for the main access point;
192.168.11.100 for the bridged access point). If the first AirStation is connected to the
Internet, you should be able to connect to the second AirStation and surf the web.
