Chapter 7: Wireless Bridge Configuration

In the 9100MESH, wireless bridging uses a second WLAN card (WLAN2) to set up an independent

wireless bridge connection. Thus, the 9100MESH can work AP and Bridge simultaneously and with no

loss efficiency. Since wireless bridging provides a mechanism for AP to collaborate, it is possible to

extend the basic service set (BSS) of a standalone AP and to connect two separate LANs without

installing my cabling. The 9100MESH model support manual bridge function and auto bridge mode.

The manual bridging function in the WH-9100MESH allows you to set a number of alternate bridging

configurations. We discuss some of the most popular settings in this chapter. The auto bridging

function will be discussed at next chapter (Chapter 8).
