Network>Bridge
Bridges create pathways for data packets to travel freely between two or more interfaces within the
Wi-Fi AP/Bridge. Bridges use both physical interfaces (such as the wireless interfaces) and logical
interfaces (such as a WDS connection). An interface can only be a part of one bridge at a time.
A default bridge, called “br0”, is configured to provide communications between the wired Ethernet
interface (eth0) and the wireless interfaces (wlan0-wlan1). The default IP address of the Wi-Fi
AP/Bridge is applied to this bridge for immediate access to these interfaces.
Create/Add to Bridge
The following menu is used to add an interface to an existing bridge and to create a new bridge.
• Existing Bridge ID: Selecting an existing bridge to add one or more interfaces.
• New Bridge ID (0-4094): Enter a number to identify a new bridge.
• Select interfaces to assign to Bridge: Click on an interface to highlight it and add it to the
new or existing bridge. Multiple interfaces can be selected or de-selected by holding the
Ctrl key down while selecting the interfaces.
• Create/Add to Bridge: Select this control to put bridge menu changes into effect.
