What is a Wireless Bridge?
A wireless bridge is a "mode" in which your Wireless Router can directly
connect to a secondary Wireless Access Point. Note that you can only bridge
your Belkin Wireless G Router (model F5D7230-4,
F5D7231-4) to a Belkin Wireless G Range Extender/Access Point (model
F5D7131, F5D7130). We do not support bridging with access points of other
manufacturers at this time. You can use the bridge mode to extend the range
of your wireless network, or add an extension of your network in another
area of your office or home without running cables.
Range Extension
Range extension will extend the wireless coverage area in your home or
office. The example on the next page illustrates the use of bridging to extend
the range of your wireless network. In this example, the Router is set up to
connect to an Access Point located in another area. Laptops can roam or
move between the two wireless coverage areas.
