You can configure access points as workgroup bridges. In workgroup bridge mode, the unit associates 
to another access point as a client and provides a network connection for the devices connected to its 
Ethernet port. For example, if you need to provide wireless connectivity for a group of network printers, 
you can connect the printers to a hub or to a switch, connect the hub or switch to the access point Ethernet 
port, and configure the access point as a workgroup bridge. The workgroup bridge associates to an access 
point on your network. 

If your access point has multiple radios, either radio can function in workgroup bridge mode..

 shows an access point configured as a workgroup bridge. Consult the
