Setting Up a Bridge Between your Wireless Router and a Secondary Access Point

Bridging your Belkin Router to a secondary Access Point requires that you access the Router’s Advanced Setup Utility and enter the MAC address of the Access Point in the appropriate area. There are also a few other requirements. PLEASE BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW,

CAREFULLY.

1.Set your Access Point to the same channel as the Router. By default, the Router and Access Point channels are set to channel 11 at the factory. If you have never changed the channel, you don’t need to do anything (for more information on changing channels, see page 47 of this manual).

2.Find the Access Point’s MAC address on the bottom of the Access Point. There are two MAC addresses on the bottom label. You will need the MAC address named “WLAN MAC Address”. The MAC address starts with 0030BD or 001150 and is followed by six other numbers or letters (i.e. 0030BD-XXXXXX). Write the MAC address below. Go to the next step.

3.Place your secondary Access Point within range of your Wireless Router and near the area where you want to extend the range or add the network segment. Typically, indoor range should be between 100 and 200 feet.

4.Connect power to your Access Point. Make sure the Access Point is on and proceed to the next step.
