Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DG834G User Manual • Multi-Point bridge. The modem router is the "master" for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this "master," rather than to other access points. See "MultiPoint Bridge Configuration". • Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point. See "Repeater with Wireless Client Association".
