ONNECTIONS
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless 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 Router and access the
wired network resources, including local servers and the Internet.
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless 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.
NOTE: Bridge Mode is not the factory default mode and must be manually
set using the web management interface.
