3G Broadband Wireless Router MBR624GU User Manual
5-14 Advanced Configuration
v1.0, January 2009
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.
To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration (shown in Figure 5-8):
1. Configure the MBR624GU router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
The MBR624GU router must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field,
and AP 2 must have the MBR624GU’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.
3. Configure and verify the following for both access points:
Both APs must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and security
settings if security is in use.
4. 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.
