Network Settings: Bridge Mode
A Network Bridge creates a connection between two
separate networks wirelessly. The Bridge connects to a Wi-Fi
network (either 2.4 or 5GHz network) of the existing
network and provides wired connections to expand the
network further. All devices connected to the Bridge are on
the same subnet and local network as the existing network.
Note: The Network Bridge does not create another Wi-Fi
network to connect to, it only provides wired connections to
expand a network.
To enable Bridge mode, click the checkbox titled Enable
Bridge Mode. Next select a Network (SSID) to connect to
wirelessly. If the network has a security key, enter it in the
Security field.
Configure the network settings for the network that you are
connecting to. Most networks will have a DHCP server that will automatically assign an IP address for you.
However in the case that the network you are connecting to does not, you can enter the IP settings manually.
The IP must be in the same subnet as the network you are connecting to in order for Bridge mode to operate
successfully.
