Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks

With the DGN2200Mv2 wireless modem router, you can build large bridged wireless
networks that form an IEEE 802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem
router with other access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients by using
their MAC addresses rather than by specifying IP addresses.
Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations:
• Point-to-point bridge. The wireless modem router communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless station. See
• Multi-point bridge. The wireless modem router is the "master" for a group of bridge-mode
wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points.
See Multi-Point Bridge
• Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See Repeater with Wireless Client Association
Note: The wireless bridging and repeating feature requires WEP security
and uses the default security profile to send and receive traffic.
To view or change these configurations, from the main menu, under Advanced, select
Wireless Settings and select WDS:
