Client Bridge - Grandstream Networks GWN76 Series User Manual

Client Bridge

The Client Bridge feature allows an access point to be configured as a client for bridging wired only clients wirelessly to the
network. When an access point is configured in this way, it will share the Wi-Fi connection to the LAN ports transparently. This
is not to be confused with a mesh setup. The client will not accept wireless clients in this mode.
Once a SSID has the Client Bridge Support enabled, the AP adopted in this SSID can be turned in to Bridge Client mode
by click the then the Bridge button
Please be noted that once an AP it turned into Client Bridge mode, it cannot be controlled by a Master anymore, and a factory
reset is required to turn it back into normal AP mode.
In order to verify, you may access the bridged AP configuration, then under Status, the option "Client Bridge Mode" would be
set to Isolated like shown on the figure down below:
Important notes
The access point that will be operating on bridge mode, must be set with a fixed IP address before activating the bridge mode
on the access point.
Users must enable client bridge support option under SSID or SSID Wi-Fi settings in order to have it fully functional.
The Client Bridge requires the SSID to not have any VLAN ID enabled
