In Bridge Mode, the 11n Router operates as a wireless access point,
extending a local wired network to associated wireless clients (PCs or
notebooks with wireless capability). From any nearby location, you can
then make a wireless connection to the 11n Router and access the wired
network resources, including local servers and the Internet.
In Bridge Mode, the 11n Router does not support gateway functions on its
WAN port. Both the LAN port and the WAN ports can be connected to a
local Ethernet LAN.
