Range Extension

Range extension will extend the wireless coverage area in your home or office. The example on the next page illustrates the use of bridging to extend the range of your wireless network. 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 Router allows you to add a network segment in another area in the home or office without running wires. 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.
