Bridges
Access points can be configured as root or non-root bridges. In this role, an access point establishes a
wireless link with a non-root bridge. Traffic is passed over the link to the wired LAN. Access points in
root and non-root bridge roles can be configured to accept associations from clients.

for instructions on setting up an access point as a bridge.
When wireless bridges are used in a point-to-multipoint configuration the throughput is reduced
depending on the number of non-root bridges that associate with the root bridge. With a link data rate at
54 Mbps, the maximum throughput is about 25 Mbps in a point-to-point link. The addition of three
bridges to form a point-to-multipoint network reduces the throughput to about 12.5 Mbps.
