Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the DG834GUv5 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 DG834GUv5 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 DG834GUv5 modem router must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC
Address field, and AP 2 must have the DG834GUv5’s MAC address in its Remote MAC
Address field.
3. Configure and verify the following for both access points:
