Set up the AP as a WiFi Bridge to another
device
You can use the AP as a WiFi bridge and connect multiple devices with WiFi, for example,
at the faster 802.11ax speed. The AP that functions as the bridge must connect over
WiFi to another WAX204 AP, WiFi router, or access point (AP) that provides Internet
access. In this way, the AP 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 AP in router mode to a device that functions as a modem and
use the other WAX204 AP or a different AP or WiFi router as a WiFi bridge (assuming
that the AP or WiFi router is also capable of functioning as a WiFi bridge).
Setting up a WiFi bridge with two WAX204 APs 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.
