ONNECTIONS
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router operates as a wireless 
access point, extending a local wired network to associated wireless clients 
(PCs or notebooks with wireless capability). From any nearby location, you 
can then make a wireless connection to the Wireless Broadband Router and 
access the wired network resources, including local servers and the 
Internet.
In Bridge Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router does not support gateway 
functions on its WAN port. Both the LAN port and the WAN ports can be 
connected to a local Ethernet LAN.
