Link Test Process Status After one minute or less, the link test returns one of the following results:
g. Click Apply.
The bridge configuration is saved. The Bridging screen displays again.
h. (Optional) Clear the Enable Wireless Client Association check box to disable
wireless client association while the wireless access point functions as a
point-to-point bridge.

client association is enabled.
i. If the correct profile name and security option are displayed in the table, select the
check box in the Enable column.

Description
WPA2-PSK AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard
encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only
selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down
menu.
In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a
passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between
8 and 63 characters (inclusive).
Note: If you want to use the 11n rates and speed,
NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication with
AES encryption.
Enter an IP address that can be reached through the remote access point
for which you are setting up a bridge configuration. Click Link Test.
• Success. The link can be established using the bridge configuration,
and the IP address behind the remote access point is reachable. You
can click Apply to save the bridge configuration.
• Failure. The link cannot be established using the bridge configuration.
Either the remote access point is not configured correctly or the IP
address behind the remote access point is reachable.
