NOTE	Although it is more convenient to use dynamic bridging, there is a limitation—the AP Client can
	only transmit TCP/IP packets between its wireless interface and Ethernet interface; other types of
	traffic (such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded.
TIP	When the AP is configured for AP Client, it can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless network
	adapter. For example, a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter, but no wireless

card, can be connected to this device with an Ethernet cable for wireless connectivity to another access point.
