Figure 13. Point-to-point bridge example
To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration:
1. Set up your modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in point-to-point bridge mode.
a. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen, select the Enable Wireless Repeating
Function check box.
b. Select either the Wireless Repeater or Wireless Base Station radio button.
c. Select the corresponding Disable Wireless Client Association check box.
d. Enter the MAC address for the other access point in the bridge. Depending on your
selection in step a, use either the Base Station MAC Address field or the Repeater
MAC Address 1 field.
e. Click Apply.
2. Set up the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode.
If your modem router is the repeater, then set up AP 2 as the base station; otherwise set
up AP 2 as the repeater.
3. Set up both access points and verify that they use the same SSID, channel, authentication
mode, if any, and WEP security settings if security is in use.
4. Disable the DHCP server on AP 2. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.
5. Verify connectivity across LAN Segment 1 and LAN Segment 2. A computer on either LAN
segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers of any other
PCs or servers connected to LAN Segment 1 or LAN Segment 2.
