Multi-Point Bridge

Multi-point bridge mode allows a wireless-N modem router to bridge to multiple peer access
points simultaneously. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabled—only wired clients
can be connected. Multi-point bridge mode configuration includes the following steps:
• Entering the MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields provided.
• Setting the other bridge-mode access points to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using the MAC
address of this DGN2200 as the Remote MAC Address.
• Using wireless security to protect this traffic.
The following figure shows an example of a multi-point bridge mode configuration.
