• Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint - If you are trying to make a wireless
connection between more than two wired networks, as shown in Figure 6-
6, select Wireless Bridge Point to MultiPoint. This mode allows you to
construct 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 that will connect
to multiple access points (in Figure 6-6, it is the Access Point in LAN 1).
Then, for the other bridged access points, click Wireless Bridge, and enter
the Remote Bridge MAC Address of the Access Point set to Point to
MultiPoint.
• Wireless Repeater - When set to Wireless Repeater mode, the Wireless

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.
