Workgroup bridge mode configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 9, the AP is connected to a LAN, and the workgroup bridge is connected to the AP

as a client and is connected to the PCs and printer through its Ethernet port. The workgroup bridge uses

the shared-key (WEP) authentication method to access the wireless service China-net.
