Access points that support wireless bridge functions can provide Ethernet connectivity to downstream network devices. Wireless bridge technology allows network nodes in different locations to transmit data without physical connections. This method bridges networks over distances through wireless signals, effectively extending network coverage. It is suitable for environments where physical wiring is challenging or impractical, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution for network expansion.

To establish a stable wireless bridge connection, both the mesh APs that root and the repeater AP need to support the bridge feature. This requirement ensures that each AP can manage LAN interface traffic effectively, which is crucial for handling the data transmitted across the bridge.
