Building Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks With the DGND3700 wireless modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an IEEE 802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router with other access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients by using their MAC addresses rather than by specifying IP addresses. Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations: • Point-to-point bridge. The wireless modem router communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station. See Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration on page 133. • Multi-point bridge. The wireless 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 Multi-Point Bridge on page 134. • Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point. See Repeater with Wireless Client Association on page 136. Note: The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and receive traffic. Advanced Settings 132

Building Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks
With the DGND3700 wireless modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks
that form an IEEE
802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router
with other access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients by using their
MAC addresses rather than by specifying IP addresses.
Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations:
Point-to-point bridge
. The wireless modem router communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless station. See
Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
on page
133.
Multi-point bridge
. The wireless 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
Multi-Point Bridge
on page
134.
Repeater with wireless client association
. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
on page
136.
Note:
The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default
security profile to send and receive traffic.
