Wireless Bridge Mode – Networking

Wireless bridge mode is a feature that’s built into a wifi router that wirelessly connects 2 networks together and makes them one network. And it does this by using a router’s wireless signal to connect to another router’s signal to bridge the 2 networks together.

  • can i ask a question?

    can the devices connected from the main router communicate to the devices connected to the" bridged" router? and vice versa since they are now one network?

    if they can, how?
    if they can't, how?

  • Excellent. Many questions answered. But…if the secondary building is getting only 2 or 3 bars, would you recommend an external repeater, master-slave setup?

  • Darn. I just got a Linksys EA6350 for free that has Bridge Mode. I was hoping that was going to work for wireless to power up a dead zone 50 ft away without cables, but apparently not. Thank you.

  • Wouldn't the wireless devices connected to the wireless bridge using wrireless only have 1/2 the speed?

  • Your contents sir are very helpful.. thank you and more more content about networking

  • Hi
    I have connected few cams through wireless bridge which were displaying butter smooth videos
    After some technical issues I reset the router settings
    After resetting router cams that were connected through wireless bridge are causing so many issue
    It keeps disconnecting after few moments
    Can u gimme idea Any clue where to start the fixing issues
    Does dns servers on router and wireless bridge should be same or they could be different?

  • What SSID does the router in wireless bridge mode broadcast?

  • if you have a router like that… KEEP IT….. you can wipe the bios and but ddwrt on it.. the wrt 54g is unlockable to some pretty neat stuff

  • How long singnal is it's connected each other in wireless

  • I am curious … I have an asus nighthawk router as well as my modem/router from ATT fiber … Will one bring the other down if I bridge them? Or am I misunderstanding how it will work

  • Watching your videos takes me back to the good ol 90’s

  • May I ask if it is possible to configure a wireless bridge that the bridged wirelessly router (2nd router – on the right) would be available by using a computer connected via ethernet cable to the host router (1st – on the left) (available by browser and IP address for example like the first one)? And if the answer is 'yes', how make a configuration of both devices to make it possible. Thx for the accurate answer. If not possible – then what are the options to get access to the 2nd (bridged) router when is in the bridged mode?

  • How far can the two routers be from each other while maintaining connection? I have a small building in my backyard some 70 yards away.

  • how did the 2nd router get its internet connection in the first place lol.

  • I literally forgot how. Skipped your video until I found what I was looking for. East and fast. Thank you.

  • Thanks for the video. I have a question
    In case if the Linksys, what do you mean by its own independent wireless network? does that mean that they have their own SSID and new passwords? not like Wifi extender ?

  • Hi, I have put my Linksys router in bridge mode and connected it to the main tp link router via ethernet. When I want to connect to the internet can I use the linksys wireless connection or do I have to use the tplink connection wireless connection ? thanks

  • Best video ever on how a wifi bridge works! Non-technical laymen's terms way of explaining so anyone can understand. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

  • Is a bridge the same as a wireless repeater? Bc I just put my router in Repeater mode to give Internet to the lower levels of my house.

  • Can you please define for me what a short distance between the two buildings are. And what I'm hoping for is I have a friend that has very fast Wi-Fi and he is approximately 400 ft away from me. Would something like this work for that for connecting me to him via two routers preserve a more simpler way to go?

  • muchaaaaaaaas gracias friend, he estado buscando esto hace meses y nadie me entendia. explicacion perfecta gracias. Saludos desde Peru

  • some recommendation for a starting as intern in cybersecurity, thank you all!

  • Now am I am confusing about what is the difference between wireless bridge and WiFi extender ?

  • I’ve got to say, because of you I have a deeper appreciation and understanding of computing.

  • keep making more videos !, learning cybersecurity from Udemy and didnt understand few things in lecture on home routers and just today i watch alot of your video topics such as what is subnet , gatway , modem , router , and more to undertsand more stuff and just watched that lecture again and now i understand fully like getting more excited to learn from you about these basic networking things in a simple animated video to understand perfectly. Thanks a lot !

  • Thanks a lot for this video! Explained everything crystal clear!

  • So do you really only need one router / wifi access point to have bridge mode support as the other one just sees and services it as another wifi client?
