Wireless-G Access Point
Wireless Repeater - When set to Wireless Repeater mode, the Wireless Repeater is able to talk to one remote
access point within its range and retransmit its signal. (This feature only works with Linksys WAP54G and
WRT54G.)
To configure a Wireless Repeater environment, click Wireless Repeater and enter the LAN MAC address of the
remote access point in the Remote AP MAC Address field.
Wireless Bridge - If you are trying to make a wireless connection between two wired networks, select Wireless
Bridge. This mode connects two physically separated wired networks with two access points.
To configure a Wireless Bridge environment, click Wireless Bridge and enter the LAN MAC address of the
remote access point in the Remote Bridge MAC Address field. The remote access point also needs to be set up as
a Wireless Bridge.

IMPORTANT: In Wireless Bridge mode, the Access
Point can ONLY be accessed by another access point
in Wireless Bridge mode. In order for your other
wireless devices to access the Access Point, you
must reset it to Access Point mode. The two modes
are mutually exclusive.
