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. Multi-Point Bridge Configuration Multi-Point Bridge mode allows a modem router to bridge to multiple peer access points simultaneously. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabled-only wired clients can be connected. Multi-Point Bridge mode configuration includes the following steps: • Entering the MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields provided. • Setting the other bridge-mode access points to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using the MAC address of this DG834G v5 as the Remote MAC Address. • Using wireless security to protect this traffic. The figure below shows an example of a Multi-Point Bridge mode configuration. The DG834v4 is AP 1, which is the "Master AP" in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode.
