Wireless-N 300 Modem Router DGN2200 User Manual Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration In point-to-point bridge mode, the DGN2200 wireless-N 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 access points (APs) are in point-to-point bridge mode.

Remote MAC
Address
field.
3.
Configure both APs and verify that both APs are using he same SSID, channel, authentication
mode, if any, and security settings if security is in use.
