The above recommended setup requires only Bridge 1 to be set in point-to-multipoint mode. It is possible to set all bridges in point-to-multipoint mode, in which case, each bridge would have to contain the BSSID for each of the other bridges and Spanning Tree Protocol must be enabled.

As stated previously, complete any other setup screens following general instructions in Chapter 3.

Repeater bridge configuration

A repeater setup can be used to extend the wireless signal from one bridge connected to an Ethernet LAN wirelessly so that another bridge can control a wireless LAN at a distance.
