Instant Wireless® Series
select Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint. This mode allows you to con- struct a network that has multiple access points bridging wirelessly.
To configure a Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint environment, click Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint for the access point used in LAN 1. No MAC address binding is needed. Then, set the access points in LAN 2 and LAN 3 to Wireless Bridge, and have them look for the MAC address of the access point in LAN 1.
Only one of the access points must be in Point to MultiPoint mode. For all other bridged access points, select the Wireless Bridge option, and enter the Remote LAN MAC Address of the Access Point set to Point to MultiPoint.
Note: Linksys recommends bridging no more than three remote LANs in Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint mode. Bridging addi- tional remote LANs will result in a significant decrease in bandwidth.
