Using the Bridging Option

Use the Bridging option to configure the DVW32CB to act as a wireless network bridge
and establish wireless links with other wireless access points. To establish a bridge, you
need to know the MAC address of the peer device, that must be in wireless bridging mode
as well. The DVW32CB can establish up to four wireless links with other wireless access
points. When wireless devices are in wireless bridging mode, they form a wireless
distribution system that allows computers in one LAN to connect to the computers in the
other LAN.
Caution
Avoid bridge loops when you enable bridging devices. Bridge loops cause broadcast traffic to
circle the network endlessly. This can degrade throughput and disrupt communications.
Steps
To configure the modem as a bridge:
1. Click Wireless from the main menu.
2. Click Bridging from the left side menu. Field descriptions are listed below the screen
example. This example shows the screen when the DVW32CB is in the 2.4GHz band.

quality of service. Power Save Support is enabled by default.
