BRIDGE MODE CONNECTIONS
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router operates as a wireless
access point, extending a local wired network to associated wireless clients
(PCs or notebooks with wireless capability). From any nearby location, you
can then make a wireless connection to the Wireless Broadband Router and
access the wired network resources, including local servers and the
Internet.
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router does not support gateway
functions on its WAN port. Both the LAN port and the WAN ports can be
connected to a local Ethernet LAN.
