Bridging 802.11 Networks With Linksys
Overview Typically, an access point acts as a central hub, router, bridge to Ethernet, and server for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Network Address Translation (NAT), as well as other functions. The standard home gateways often have a Wide-Area Network (WAN) Ethernet port (to connect to a DSL or cable modem) and one or more Local Area Network (LAN) ports for the local network. The access point negotiates with wireless computers and other devices, hands out non-Internet-reachable NAT addresses via DHCP, and bridges traffic from the wireless LAN to the wired LAN and, through it, out to the Internet. The Linksys WAP11 with its single Ethernet port handles all this perfectly fine.
