Wireless Bridge

A Wireless Bridge is a device that connects two or more wireless networks in a large home, across the street, or to another network with in its range.

There are two types of wireless bridges:Wireless Bridge

  • point-to-point
  • point-to-multipoint

This technology used to be very expensive and really only used by companies and other organisations. Now, there are a number of wireless bridges which are aimed at the personal user. You can now find consumer wireless bridges at very reasonable prices.

Unfortunately, this technology varies based on the chipset and the firmware used by the manufacturer, so wireless bridges tend to work only with other bridges of the same type and model.

Here are some things you should consider when buying a Wireless Bridge to join up more than one network:

  • Price? Compare prices on Wireless Bridges
  • Range - how far will it reach, does this meet your requirements ?
  • Is it compatible with your other equipment
  • Does it have a removable antenna or an external antenna socket?
  • How many Ethernet ports does it have? are they enough?
  • Does it include both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes?
  • Is it easy to install?
