Set up access point as a WiFi Bridge to
another device
You can use the access point as a WiFi bridge and connect multiple devices with WiFi,
for example, at the faster 802.11ax speed. The access point that functions as the bridge
must connect over WiFi to another WAX204 access point, WiFi router, or access point
(AP) that provides Internet access. In this way, the access point that functions as the
bridge receives Internet access over a WiFi bridge from the device that is connected to
the Internet.
You can also connect the access point in router mode to the modem and use the other
WAX204 access point, WiFi router or AP as a WiFi bridge (assuming that the WiFi router
or AP is capable of functioning as a WiFi bridge).
Setting up a WiFi bridge with two WAX204 access points offers the following benefits:
• Take advantage of high WiFi speeds (802.11ax) for WiFi devices connected to either
side of the WiFi bridge.
• Connect multiple devices such as a NAS, Smart TV, NeoTV, and Blu-ray player using
a high-speed (802.11ax) WiFi link.
