N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200M Mobile Edition User Manual Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration In point-to-point bridge mode, the wireless 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.

AP 1 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.
