The following table describes the labels in this screen.
7.6.4 Bridge Mode
The device can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs.
You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge mode.
When two devices connect in Bridge mode, they form a WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
allowing the computers in one LAN to connect to the computers in another LAN. See the
following example.
" WPA, WPA2 and IEEE 802.1x wireless security are not available when you
use Wireless Client, Bridge or AP+Repeater mode.
" You can use only WEP or WPA2-PSK keys to encrypt traffic between APs.
