What is a Wireless Bridge?
A wireless bridge is a "mode" in which your Wireless Router can
directly connect to a secondary Wireless Access Point. Note that you
can only bridge your Belkin Wireless G Router (model F5D7230-4,
F5D7231-4) to a Belkin Wireless G Range Extender/Access Point
(model F5D7131, F5D7130). We do not support bridging with access
points of other manufacturers at this time. You can use the bridge
mode to extend the range of your wireless network, or add an
extension of your network in another area of your office or home
without running cables.
Range Extension
Range extension will extend the wireless coverage area in your home
or office. The example on the next page illustrates the use of bridging
to extend the range of your wireless network. In this example, the
Router is set up to connect to an Access Point located in another area.
Laptops can roam or move between the two wireless coverage areas.
