RAX80 Wireless Bridge
I have RAX80 running as Wireless Bridge mode. It has connected to my router as shown "connected" in "Advanced Home". However, I cannot find the SSID boardcast by RAX80. Anyone has a clue?

Wireless bridge mode isn't wireless repeater/extender mode. It doesn't retransmit. its a bridge between the router and the bridge device so you can hardwire in devices.

Thanks Plemans. So should I use Wireless AP instead for wireless repeater/extender mode?

it works as a wired AP.
