What are the differences and uses between wireless trunking and wireless bridging?
The relay mode allows multiple client link bridging mode allows only the only authentication client relay wireless bridging higher than. Wireless bridging means connecting two or more LAN or WAN wirelessly. Repeater is the extension of the length of wireless signals (not amplified signals), of course, is a wireless bridging function, but the use of different, so the relay can not replace the bridge. For example: A----B----C, a total of three sites, if A and B can be wireless bridging, B and C can also be wireless bridging, but A and C because of distance, can not wireless bridging. If you want ABC to be wirelessly connected, what's the solution? Then we can use ABC as a relay function (which is also one of them). After A and B relay, B relays C again. You should understand it, in addition, the relay can be connected to a wireless router with no bridge, the bridge to set the binding of MAC and IP, and the relay is not, as long as the wireless router signal can absorb (of course with WEP or WPA password you need to fill in).
The so-called relay is to amplify the wireless signal between two wireless points, so that the remote client can receive more powerful wireless signals. For example, I put a AP in a, and there is a client in C, a distance of 120 meters, from a to C signal has weakened a lot, so I in the middle of 60 meters B put a AP relay, so that the signal C client can effective enhancement, ensure the transmission speed and stability. Is the bridge to link the two endpoints, the realization of the two wireless AP data transmission, to connect the two wired LAN, generally selected by AP to the bridge, for example, I have a 15 computer components of the wired LAN in a, B is a 25 computer composed of a line of LAN. But ab points a long distance, more than 100 meters, has not been possible through a wired connection, so how to put the two LANs connected together? This requires setting a AP at the A and B points to turn on the AP bridging function so that the AB LAN can transmit data to each other.
Wireless relay and wireless bridging differ mainly in the device operating mode. White spots are the applications. A 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. Wireless bridge is generally just point to point or point more 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.
