ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router DG834G Reference Manual Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the DG834G v4 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. You must enter the MAC address of the other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. Use wireless security to protect this communication. The following figure shows an example of Point-to-Point Bridge mode. Both APs (access points) are in AP 2 Point-to-Point Bridge mode.

Configure the DG834G v4 modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode. 2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode. The DG834G v4 modem router must have AP 2's MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field, and AP 2 must have the DG834G v4's MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field. 3. Configure and verify the following for both access points: • Both APs must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and security settings if security is in use. 4. Disable the DHCP server on AP2. AP1 will then be the DHCP server. 5. 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. 5-14 v2.0, September 2007 Advanced Configuration

Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the DG834G v4 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. You must enter the MAC address of the other bridge-mode
wireless station in the field provided. Use wireless security to protect this communication.
The following figure shows an example of Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration (shown in
Figure 5-8
):
1.
Configure the DG834G v4 modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge
mode.
2.
Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
The DG834G v4 modem router must have AP 2’s MAC address in its
Remote MAC Address
field, and AP 2 must have the DG834G v4’s MAC address in its
Remote MAC Address
field.
3.
Configure and verify the following for both access points:
•
Both APs must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and security
settings if security is in use.
4.
Disable the DHCP server on AP2. AP1 will then be the DHCP server.
5.
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.
