Wireless Bridge
The system can be set as an Access Point or a Wireless Bridge. A wireless access point allows other devices
to access the wireless network. Whereas a Wireless Bridge, bridges two wireless sections of a network and
also allows wired access to both sides of the connection.
What does that say?
A wireless bridge allows a network to be “Extended” wirelessly, and converts the wireless
signal to a wired one. In the example below, one system is in the of
fi ce area and another
in the warehouse area but there is no cable connecting them together, it is all done
wirelessly. A wireless bridge as seen below, can connect the two devices creating one
network, that is bridged together.
A Wireless Access Point can also be used to extend your network, but it usually supports a single client device
such as a computer or a telephone.
