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)

allowing the computers in one LAN to connect to the computers in another LAN. See the

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.

Figure 38 Bridging Example

Turbo-G Mode Turbo-G mode provides higher speed transmissions than regular IEEE 802.11g or

super-G mode. The other device must also support turbo-G mode in order for the

device to use it for the wireless connection. This is available when you select a

Wireless Mode that includes IEEE 802.11g.

Turbo-G uses two channels bonded together in order to achieve its higher

transmission rates. This may cause interference with other APs in the area. The

Channel field is automatically fixed at 6 when you use turbo-G mode.
