4-1. To Use AP-to-AP Bridging
Communication through AP-to-AP bridging can be made by registering partner access point's BSSID.
It is not necessary to use the same SSID, but using the same SSID as an initial value (factory shipment
status) allows automatic detection and registration of partner access point's BSSID.
* AP-to-AP bridging cannot work until partner's BSSID is registered.
* All access points that use AP-to-AP bridging must be configured to use the same channel.
* Do not connect access points to the same wired network after configuring AP-to-AP bridging.
It may lead to looping, resulting in a network failure.

■ Communication with 2 or More Access Points
Register access point BSSIDs of the other part of communication. In an example below, BSSIDs of AP-1 and
AP-3 are to be registered to AP-2. A channel of all access points must be configured as the same.
The maximum number of access points which simultaneous AP-to-AP bridging is available is 7 (including
your own PC. The maximum number of relays: 6).
Example1. Communication via Repeater
All throughput is 1/6(1/ access number) by AP-to-AP Bridging.
