• 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
“Multi-
Point Bridge Configuration” .
• Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point. See
“Repeater with Wireless Client Association” .
Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the DG834G v5 modem router communicates as an access point
with another bridge-mode wireless station. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabled—
only wired clients can be connected. You must enter the MAC address of the other bridge-mode
wireless station in the field provided. Use wireless security to protect this communication.
The following figure shows an example of Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration (shown in Figure 5-8 ):
1. Configure the DG834G v5 modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge
mode.
2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
The DG834G v5 modem router must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address
field, and AP 2 must have the DG834G v5’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.
3. Configure and verify the following for both access points:
