Configuring Wireless Bridging

The Telephony Modem supports the Wireless Distribution System (WDS), a common

bridging standard that allows you to extend the range of a wireless network by con-

necting several wireless routers.

Keep the following in mind when setting up wireless bridging:

• One device (in this case, the Telephony Modem) acts as the router. Other

wireless routers must be configured as Access Points. See the documenta-

tion for your additional devices for instructions for using them as Access

Points.

• While the Telephony Modem has the ability to be configured as an Access

Point, doing so disables the router function and therefore disables Internet

access through the Telephony Modem.

• Each wireless router must support WDS.
• The Router and each Access Point must use the same channel number and

security settings.

• If MAC address filtering is enabled, the router and each Access Point must

have the MAC addresses of the other devices in their access lists.

Follow these steps to set up wireless bridging. The steps assume you have already

configured the devices as described above.
