Using the Wireless Bridging Option

Use the Wireless Bridging option to configure the DDW36C 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 DDW36C 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 Wireless Bridging from the left side menu. Field descriptions are listed below
the screen example. This example shows the screen when the DDW36C is in the
2.4GHz band.

power, while the wireless access point buffers downlink frames.
The application chooses the time to wake up and receive data
packets to maximize power conservation without sacrificing
quality of service. Power Save Support is enabled by default.
