Wireless Bridging and Repeating
The wireless access point lets you build large bridged wireless networks. Examples of wireless
bridged configurations are:
•
Point-to-point bridge
. The wireless access point communicates with another bridge-mode
wireless access point. See
“How to Configure Point-to-Point Bridge Mode” on page 5-10
.
•
Multi-point bridge
. The wireless access point is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode
wireless access points. Then all traffic is sent to this “master,” rather than to the other wireless
access points. See
“How Configure Point to Multi-Point Bridge Mode” on page 5-11
.
•
Repeater
. The wireless access point sends all traffic to the remote AP. See
“How to Configure
Repeater Mode” on page 5-13
.
To display the bridging and repeating functions:
1.
Log in to the wireless access point at its default LAN address of
http://192.168.0.229
with its
default user name of
admin
and default password of
password
, or using whatever password
and LAN address you have chosen for the wireless access point.
2.
Select
