6.3.3 Bridge Mode
The device can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs.
You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge mode.
When two devices connect in Bridge mode, they form a WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

following example.
Note: WPA, WPA2 and IEEE 802.1x wireless security are not available when you use
Wireless Client, Bridge or AP+Repeater mode.
You can only use WEP keys to encrypt traffic between APs.

can lead to this problem:
If two or more G-570Us (in bridge mode) are connected to the same hub as shown next.
