Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA
Figure 3 Repeater Application
1.2.2.1 Bridge / Repeater Mode Example
In the example below, when both NWAs are in Bridge / Repeater mode, they form a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allowing the computers in LAN 1 to connect to the computers in LAN 2.
Figure 4 Bridging Example
Be careful to avoid bridge loops when you enable bridging in the NWA. Bridge loops cause broadcast traffic to circle the network endlessly, resulting in possible throughput degradation and disruption of communications. The following examples show two network topologies that can lead to this problem:
