Setting up a Bridge Between your Router
and a Secondary Access Point
Bridging your Belkin Router to a secondary Access Point requires that you
access the Router’s Advanced Setup Utility and enter the MAC address of the
Access Point in the appropriate area. There are also a few other requirements.
PLEASE BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW CAREFULLY.
1.
Set your Access Point to the same channel as the Router. For
more information on changing channels, see “Wireless - Channel
and SSID” section of this User Manual.
2.
Find the Access Point’s MAC address on the bottom of the
Access Point. There are two MAC addresses on the bottom label.
You will need the MAC address named “WLAN MAC Address”.
The MAC address starts with 0030BD and is followed by six other
numbers or letters (i.e. 0030BD-XXXXXX). Write the MAC address
below. Go to the next step.
3.
Place your secondary Access Point within range of your Wireless
Router and near the area where you want to extend the range
or add the network segment. Typically, indoor range should be
between 100 and 200 feet.
4.
Connect power to your Access Point. Make sure the Access Point
is on and proceed to the next step.
5.
From a computer already connected to your Router, access the
Advanced Setup Utility by opening your browser. In the address
bar, type in “192.168.2.1”. Do not type in “www” or “http://”
before the number. Note: If you have changed your Router’s IP
address, use that IP address.
6.
You will see the Router’s user interface in the browser window.
Click “Wireless Bridge” (2) on the left-hand side of the screen.
You will see the following screen.
