• WiFi point-to-multipoint bridge. The access point is the master for a group of
bridge-mode access points. You can configure up to four WiFi bridges.
The other bridge-mode WiFi access points must be set to point-to-point bridge mode,
using the MAC address of the your access point (that is, the master). Rather than
communicating directly with each other, all other bridge-mode access points send their
traffic to the master access point. You can use WPA2-PSK to secure the communication.
