Host computers with multiple network adapters may use the network bridge
function to connect several LAN segments. A LAN segment is a physical
connection between a host computer and a client computer. Network bridging is a
cost-effective method of connecting LAN segments since it does not require
expensive hardwares such as routers and technical expertise for configuring
Internet protocol (IP) addresses. Network bridge is essential in enabling ICS
among wireless clients in a home network.
You must have Administrator privileges before you could create a network bridge.
To bridge a wired network connection to the WiFi-b™:
1. Open the Wireless Settings utility.
Select Config from the property
window, then select the Soft AP tab.
2. Select a network connection from the
Available Network Connections box,
then drag the connection to the
Internet field. Click Apply.
