What is a Wireless Bridge?

A wireless bridge is a “mode” in which your Wireless Router can directly connect to a secondary Wireless Access Point. Note that you can only bridge your Belkin G Wireless Router (model F5D7234-4, F5D7231-4) to a Belkin Wireless G Range Extender/Access Point (model F5D7132, F5D7130). We do not support bridging with access points of other manufacturers at this time. You can use the bridge mode to extend the range of your wireless network, or add an extension of your network in another area of your office or home without running cables.
