• Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint - If you are trying to make a wireless connection between more than two wired networks, as shown in Figure 66, select Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint. This mode allows you to construct a network that has multiple access points bridging wirelessly. To configure a Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint environment, click Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint for the Access Point that will connect to multiple access points (in Figure 6-6, it is the Access Point in LAN 1). Then, for the other bridged access points, click Wireless Bridge, and enter the Remote Bridge MAC Address of the Access Point set to Point to MultiPoint. Note: Linksys recommends bridging no more than three remote LANs in Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint mode. Bridging additional remote LANs will result in a significant decrease in bandwidth. Figure 6-6 • Wireless Repeater - When set to Wireless Repeater mode, the Wireless Repeater is able to talk to one remote access point within its range and retransmit its signal. See Figure 6-7. To configure a Wireless Repeater environment, click Wireless Repeater and enter the LAN MAC address of the remote access point in the Remote AP MAC Address field. Figure 6-7 • Backup and Restore. Clicking the Backup button will store the Access Point's configuration to your PC's hard drive. You can restore this information by clicking the Restore button. Click the Apply button to apply your changes or Cancel to cancel your changes. If you require online help, click the Help button. 20 21
