This application lets you extend your network to a detached site by using two AirBridges
in a master-to-satellite, point-to-point setup.

In the previous figure, the master at the main site can be connected to the Internet
through a router. The satellite at the detached site is connected to a switch, which allows
you to connect multiple wired devices. If you connect a WiFi access point to the switch,
you can also provide a WiFi connection to multiple WiFi clients at the detached site.
Each device at the detached site communicates over the WiFi connection with the main
site and functions on the same LAN. That is, the main site and detached site function as
a single network.
