N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200Mv2
Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks
With the DGN2200Mv2 wireless modem router, you can build large bridged wireless
networks that form an IEEE
802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem
router with other access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients by using
their MAC addresses rather than by specifying IP addresses.
Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations:
•
Point-to-point bridge
. The wireless modem router communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless station. See
Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
•
Multi-point bridge
. The wireless modem router is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode
wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points.
See
•
Repeater with wireless client association
. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
70.
Note:
The wireless bridging and repeating feature requires WEP security
and uses the default security profile to send and receive traffic.
