N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3

Set Up a Point-to-Point Bridge

In point-to-point bridge mode, the modem router communicates as an access point with

another bridge-mode wireless station. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabled.

Only wired clients can be connected. Use wireless security to protect this communication.

The following figure shows an example of point-to-point bridge mode.

LAN segment 1

PCs

LAN segment 2

Switch or hub

AP 2

Both access points (APs) are in

192.168.0.1

Internet

AP 1 (DGN2200 modem router)

point-to-point bridge mode.

Figure 9. Point-to-point bridge example



To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration:

Set up your modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in point-to-point bridge mode.

In the Wireless Repeating Function screen, select the

Enable Wireless Repeating

Function

check box.

Select either the

Wireless Repeater

Wireless Base Station

radio button.

Select the corresponding

Disable Wireless Client Association

check box.

Enter the MAC address for the other access point in the bridge. Depending on your

selection in step a, use either the Base Station MAC Address field or the Repeater

MAC Address 1 field.

Click

Apply

Set up the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode.

If your modem router is the repeater, then set up AP 2 as the base station; otherwise set

up AP 2 as the repeater.

Set up both access points and verify that they use the same SSID, channel, authentication

mode, if any, and WEP security settings if security is in use.

Disable the DHCP server on AP 2. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.

Verify connectivity across LAN Segment 1 and LAN Segment 2. A computer on either LAN

segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers of any other

PCs or servers connected to LAN Segment 1 or LAN Segment 2.
