Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In point-to-point bridge mode, the DGN2200 wireless-N 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.

point bridge mode.
2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode.
The DGN2200 wireless-N modem router must have AP 2's MAC address in its Remote MAC
Address field, and AP 2 must have the DGN2200's MAC address in its Remote MAC
Address field.
3. Configure both APs and verify that both APs are using he same SSID, channel, authentication
mode, if any, and security settings if security is in use.
4. Disable the DHCP server on AP2. AP1 will then be the DHCP server.
