What is the difference between relay and bridge?
The relay can be different from SSID, and to be exact, the difference between the two is the allocation of the device's IP address to the latter. The relay is allocated by itself, and the bridge is assigned by the superior route. The relay is active, and the device is connected behind the line, regardless of the routing of the higher level. The bridge is passive and must be routed by the higher authoritiesA radio relay can be understood as a device that receives signals from other devices. Re launch with one's own center. Mainly used in areas with weaker signals. For the expansion and amplification of wireless signals.
The actual use of the relay and bridging function for wireless users are basically the same, but the equipment is different, not all wireless routers can be bridged, wireless routing and bridging is the wireless router when using repeater. Bridging is not the main function of wireless routers. When using relay mode, the network SSID numbers are the same, while in the bridge mode, the network SSID number is different.
Relay mode is the use of a wireless connection between the wireless router, wireless signal transmission from one point to the next relay relay, the signal is enhanced, and the formation of new wireless coverage area, to extend the coverage of wireless network to. In fact, as long as there are two relay enabled wireless router, you can expand the network coverage.
Wireless bridge connection is generally just point to point or point to multipoint signal wireless data transmission. Normally。 Links between small LANs used primarily for two different locations. Used for remote network point to point or point to multipoint data communication.. And. In order to ensure the stability of bridge. Normally。 When the device opens the bridge function, it will close the intervention function of the common network card. That is, peer to peer communication. Wireless devices cannot be connected wirelessly.
