BRIDGE MODE CONNECTIONS
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router operates as a wireless access point, extending a local wired network to associated wireless clients (PCs or notebooks with wireless capability). From any nearby location, you can then make a wireless connection to the Wireless Broadband Router and access the wired network resources, including local servers and the Internet.
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router does not support gateway functions on its WAN port. Both the LAN port and the WAN ports can be connected to a local Ethernet LAN.
NOTE: Bridge Mode is not the factory default mode and must be manually set using the web management interface.
