Adaptors can connect to Ethernet through AP. 7.2. AP Client Ethernet A Ethernet A Ethernet B Ethernet B Adaptor Adaptor AP AP Wireless LAN Wireless LAN AP Client AP Client Adaptor Adaptor Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Wireless LAN Access Point Users Manual AP Client could connect to the AP like an adaptor. The figure shows that Ethernet B has connected to Ethernet A. Adaptors still could connect to the AP that the AP Client connected to. 7.3. Bridge 24 Ethernet A Ethernet A Ethernet B Ethernet B Bridge A Bridge A Wireless Bridge Wireless Bridge Bridge B Bridge B Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Host Different from the AP AP Client mode, no adapters could connect to any bridge in bridge mode. And there are two bridge modes.
Wireless Bridge Point-to-Point Bridge in this mode will only connect to one fixed bridge.
Wireless Bridge Point-to-Multipoint Bridge in this mode will connect to any other bridges nearby. Wireless LAN Access Point Users Manual 7.3.1. Bridge Connection Example 1 Ethernet A Ethernet A Bridge A Bridge A P2M P2M 25 Bridge B Bridge B P2P:Bridge A P2P:Bridge A Ethernet B Ethernet B Bridge C Bridge C P2M P2M Ethernet C Ethernet C Bridge A and Bridge C are in Point-to-Multipoint mode, Bridge B in Point-to-Point mode that only connect to Bridge A. In this case, Bridge A could connect to both Bridge B and Bridge C, but Bridge C could only connect to Bridge A. 7.3.2. Bridge Connection Example 2 Ethernet A Ethernet A Bridge A Bridge A P2P:Bridge B P2P:Bridge B Bridge B Bridge B P2P:Bridge A P2P:Bridge A Ethernet B Ethernet B Bridge C Bridge C P2M P2M Ethernet C Ethernet C If we set Bridge A to be Point-to-Point mode that only connect to Bridge B.
