Wireless Bridge

A bridge is a network component that connects two networks. AWK-6222’s bridge operation is

based on the AP (master) and Client (Slave) concept. Both sides of the connection must have the

same RF type, SSID, and security settings.

For single RF mesh networks, we can use WDS to establish a static bridge link. In this case, the

APs at both ends of the WDS link must be configured manually with each other’s MAC addresses.

The performance of a single RF bridge will be poor if more nodes are added.

The AWK-6222’s dual RF bridge concept is different from using a single RF, because the

AWK-6222 has dual RFs, and offer users a cascade link to bridge the two ends without narrowing

down the throughput.
