Bridge has not established an IP address either 
through DHCP or Static methods. 
DHCP is the default method by which the unit 
obtains an IP address. Your network must have a 
DHCP server available when the bridge is powered-
up. Most AP/Routers have a DHCP server built-in. 
Enable your DHCP server and re-start the module.

Bridge has not found an Access Point with which to 
associate. Be sure the Access Point you want to 
use is turned on and has WEP disabled (you can 
enable WEP after the Bridge has been configured). 
If this does not help, be sure there are no nearby 
devices causing interference. If there are, either turn 
off or move the device causing the interference or 
move the Bridge and Access Point to another 
location.
