repeater and bridging functions
simultaneously. In addition, it can support

as multiple bridge paths:
The above figure shows a combination of
repeater and bridging functions demonstrating
the use of multiple simultaneous functions,
including:
• Bridging two LANs
LAN A is bridged to LAN B via the wireless
bridges, X and Y
