What is a WiFi Ethernet Bridge?

[The Router Help]

A WiFi bridge replaces ethernet cabling. It is set up in a fixed configuration to have one purpose. In a point-to-point configuration, typically in outdoor environments the bridge will be designed to span a distance to carry data from a point to another as if you had a cable joining the two. This is not exclusive to outdoors, you can bridge access points inside a building and don’t have to have a access point in bridge with line of site to another AP.

You could bridge an access point from one room to another room for example or from outdoor to indoor as 5GHz or 2.4GHz can penetrate walls, you don’t even need a sectored antenna. Generally speaking, when people refer to a Wi-Fi bridge, they are talking about equipment designed to span distances of several hundred meters to a few miles with a sectored station. In bridge mode, a WiFi bridge won’t connect to WiFi clients like you would expect from an access point, as the bridge mode is serving the sole purpose of acting as a bridge to another station.   If you have questions or need any assistance troubleshooting, just visit: Eero Setup | Belkin Range Extender Setup
