With the 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 using their MAC
addresses rather than IP addresses. Here are some examples of wireless bridged
configurations:
Point-to-point bridge. The modem router communicates with another bridge-mode
•
wireless station. See
Multi-point bridge. The 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
Up a Multi-Point Bridge
Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.

The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and
receive traffic.
