Your access point must include the MAC address of the other access point in its Remote MAC Address field, and the other way around, the other access point must include the MAC address of your access point in its Remote MAC Address field. Note Both sides of the bridge must use the same WiFi band and the same channel. If differences exist, the bridge cannot be established. 6. Verify the following settings for both access points: • Both access points must operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices. • Both access points must use the same channel, authentication mode, and security settings.
