The devices connected to the wired interface of the WAP device, as well as the downstream
stations associated with the access point interface of the device, can access the network
connected by the infrastructure client interface. To allow the bridging of packets, the VLAN
configuration for the access point interface and wired interface should match that of the
infrastructure client interface.

WorkGroup Bridge mode can be used as range extender to enable the BSS to provide access to
remote or hard-to-reach networks. A single-radio can be configured to forward packets from
associated STAs to another WAP device in the same ESS, without using WDS.
