WBC502 Airbridge
I have purchased a WBC502 to connect my garage to my home internet where I want to attach a small network switch to connect 4-5 devices. I only have one WBC502 and was thinking setup as an AP. Does ...
Do you have an ethernet line ran from your home to the garage?
Or are you just seeing if you can get the WBC to reach the garage?
Because in point to point mode, you'd need 2 of them.
did you look through the manual? page 11 goes over the modes and page 111 goes over how to change/manage it in that mode.

No cable currently using Orbi but keeps on dropping so thought this would be a better option. The website states that this can be done, might be in Client Bridge mode though.
Just seems very hard to setup but if your right its not going to work for me, i have attached a screen shot of the website showing a WBC talking to a router
It does have an access point mode but its not going to project any further than orbi does in access point mode.
In bridge mode, its a directional connection thats basically "aimed" at the other bridge to form a connection.
Im hoping being on the outside of the garage this will help, I have got Orbi connected but its on the limit. So might be worth purchasing another airbridge.
any clues how to setup either in AP or client base I followed the instructions but it will not connect onto my network when I disconnect the cable and no signal lights.
time to search for a network engineer near me I am quite techie but this seems out of my knowledge area
