With the modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an
IEEE
802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router with other
access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients using their MAC
addresses rather than IP addresses. Here are some examples of wireless bridged
configurations:
•
Point-to-point bridge
. The modem router communicates with another bridge-mode
wireless station. See
Set Up a Point-to-Point Bridge
on page
88.
•
Multi-point bridge
. The modem router is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless
stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points. See

Up a Multi-Point Bridge
on page
90.
•
Repeater with wireless client association
. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
on page

The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and
receive traffic.
