4.  Enter the actual distance in meters. For example, if the distance between the 

two VAC bridges is 3 kilometers, enter 3000 in the field.

5. Use ping to check whether the link between the two bridges is OK.

6.  To get better wireless connectivity, go to Status —> Connections. If the  

connection is established, it will display association information for the remote 
bridge, including MAC address, wireless mode, signal strength, and connection 
time.
