Installation Notes
Bridge Loop May Occur with Incorrect Network Topology
If the bridge is connected to the wired LAN and is communicating with an access point on the same
LAN, a network problem known as a bridge loop can occur. Avoid a bridge loop by disconnecting the
bridge from the wired LAN immediately after you configure it. Figure 1 shows the network configuration
in which the loop occurs.

A bridge loop can also occur if two or more bridges are connected to the same remote hub. To prevent
this bridge loop, always connect only one bridge to a remote hub. Figure 2 shows the network
configuration in which the loop occurs.
