There are some factors to consider when setting up Security for Client Bridge mode that may or may not be factors when setting up Repeater Bridge mode. Keep in mind any security settings will need to be configured including MAC filtering in order for the Secondary Router to connect to the Primary Router and also for clients connecting to the Secondary Router to gain full access to the connectivity of the Primary Router.
This extends the range of your wireless network while simultaneously allowing wired clients to connect to your secondary router. This extends your primary LAN via secondary router (bridge router) and also allows wireless clients to connect to your secondary router. New in DD-WRT v24 is Repeater Bridge mode.
Wireless clients cannot connect to your secondary router configured as a standard bridge. The limitation with standard bridging is that it only allows wired clients to connect to your secondary router. Of course, you can still connect clients to your main router using either a cable connection or a wireless connection. Secondary clients share the bandwidth of a wireless connection back to your main router. Use a wireless bridge to transparently connect computers in one room to computers in a different room when you cannot-or don't want to-run an Ethernet cable between the two rooms.Ī standard wireless bridge (client bridge) connects wired clients to a secondary router as if they were connected to your main router with a cable. DHCP clients in one segment can get their addresses from a DHCP server in the other segment. Since the computers are on the same subnet, broadcasts reach all machines. The two segments are in the same subnet and look like two Ethernet switches connected by a cable to all computers on the subnet. A wireless bridge connects two LAN segments with a wireless link.
