Wireless bridge

with room for 3 ports?

 

[Fardringle]

Many wireless routers can act as a wireless bridge/access point. Without more information, the unknown device could be a router acting as a bridge, it could be an actual wireless bridge, or it could be a wireless computer using connection sharing to give access to your network to the three computers.

 

[fmg420]

would the router in bridge mode give and get the strongest signal out of all those mentioned?

 

[ch33zw1z]

signal strength depends on what the device is, and what it can/is set to put out.

This cn be any Router that is capable to be comfigured as a Client.

Some Routers can do it as is. Otherwise get a Router that can be Flashed with DD-WRT.

And configure it like this, http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge

The technical name for that is Workgroup Bridge. It isn't a wireless bridge, it is a workgroup bridge - two very different modes of operation.

You are right Spidey. :thumbsup:

The problem is that the D_WRT people sc*** up the description on their page concerning the instructions for Driverless Wireless Client.

They basically switched/mixed the two terms Wireless Bridge and Wireless client.

For long time I ignored it and used the right term, but then it confuses the people who goes to the page. So when I link to this specific page I use the term that the page uses. 😱
