Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration

In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the DG834G v4 modem router communicates as an access point
with another bridge-mode wireless station. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabled—
only wired clients can be connected. You must enter the MAC address of the other bridge-mode
wireless station in the field provided. Use wireless security to protect this communication.
The following figure shows an example of Point-to-Point Bridge mode.

• Both APs must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and security
settings if security is in use.

5. Verify connectivity across LAN Segment 1 and LAN Segment 2.
A computer on either LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and
printers of any other PCs or servers connected to LAN Segment 1 or LAN Segment 2.
