Note 7 that you can only bridge your Wireless G Router (model F5D7230-4, F5D7235-4, F5D7231-4P, F5D7231-4) to a Belkin Wireless G Range Extender/Access Point (model F5D7130). Bridging with access points 8 of other manufacturers is not supported at this time. You can use the bridge mode to extend the range of your wireless network, or add 9 an extension of your network in another area of your office or home without running cables. Range Extension 10 Range extension will extend the wireless coverage area in your home or office. The example on the next page illustrates use of bridging to 11 extend the range of your wireless network. In this example, the Router is set up to connect to an Access Point located in another area. Laptops can roam, or move between the two wireless coverage areas. 12 *Wireless Range Extension and bridging will not work while in 125 HSM mode. 13 section 77
