User manual BELKIN WIRELESS BRIDGE

[. . . ] CHANGE NOTICE Firmware Version 1. 01. 08 The overall look and feel of this new firmware has changed. While graphically the User Interface has changed, functionally, the User Interface is the same. [. . . ] In this example, the Router is set up to connect to an Access Point located in another area. Laptops can roam, or move between the two wireless coverage areas. Adding another network segment wirelessly Bridging an Access Point to your wireless router will also allow you to add another network segment without running wires to the area where the new segment is located. Connecting a network switch or hub to the Access Point's RJ45 jack will allow a number of computers connected to the switch access to the rest of the network. Setting up a Bridge between your wireless Router and a secondary Access Point Bridging your router to a secondary AP requires that you access the Router's Advanced Setup utility and enter the MAC address of the AP in the appropriate area. By default the router and AP channels are set to channel 11 at the factory. If you have never changed the channel, you don't need to do anything. The MAC address starts with 0030BD and is followed by 6 other numbers or letters. Place your secondary AP within range of your wireless router and near the area where you want to extend the range or add the network segment. From a computer already connected to your router, access the Advanced Setup Utility by opening your browser. In the address bar, type in "192. 168. 2. 1" do not type in "www" or http:// before the number. Note: if you have changed your router's IP address, use that IP address. Click "Wireless Bridge" (1) on the left-hand side of the screen. Check the box that says "Enable ONLY specific Access Points to connect" (2) 8. [. . . ] If you changed the IP address of the Access Point, then use that IP address. 3. If everything is working fine, you will see "Reply from 192. 168. 2. 254: bytes=32 time=12ms TTL=255" four times on the screen. [. . . ]
