Network   bridging   allows   the   user   to   be   connected   to   the   CamRanger   and   an   addiMonal   Internet   

network   simultaneously.   Previously   when   using   the   CamRanger,   the   Mac   could   only   be   

connected   to   the   CamRanger   WiFi   network,   making   it   so   the   user   could   not   use   any   other   

network   when   the   CamRanger   was   in   use.      Once   the   bringing   is   established   on   the   Mac,   the   

CamRanger   can   be   connected   to   the   Mac   and   successfully   bridge   between   the   CamRanger   and   

addiMonal   network.
