Building Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks
With the 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
a
ccess 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 Configuring a Point-to-Point Brid
ge Configuration .”
• Multi-po
int 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 Configuring a Repeater with Wireless Client Association .”
• Rep
eater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See Configuring a Repeater with Wireless Client Association .”
Note: The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security
profile to send and receive traffic.
To view or change these configurations, select Advanced Wireless Settings from the main
menu, and then select the WDS radio button:
