WNAP320 won't bridge

  I have two of these APs that I want to bridge. I have one wired and one bridged to extend my LAN coverage. The downstream AP will get power and wireless lights but nothing for LAN or Activity.   ...

    Hi dengar,

     

    Since only one AP is hardwired to the router, that said unit will have a light or LED for LAN and the other AP won't. The IP or DHCP reservation is optional if you want your APs to have specific IP address for ease of management (the one that you should use for the wireless is the wireless MAC). Kindly check this article and this will help you configure your access points using a Point to Point Wireless Bridge setup.

     

    Just let us know if you have other questions.

     

     

    Kind regards,

Thank you. It is up and running. Lights are off on the non-wired AP and connectivity is there.
