A wireless bridge allows wired devices to connect to an existing wireless network. An AP acts as a central point through which wireless devices can connect to each other.
Example - you have an Xbox sitting next to your SB3 and want the Xbox to connect to the wireless network. Instead of buying a specific USB wireless dongle for the Xbox you can just connect it to the SB3 via ethernet and you're done. The Xbox thinks it's on a wired network, but really it's being bridged by the SB3. What you want isn't even an AP, it's a repeater (i.e. retransmit an existing wireless network to extend its range). Some home wireless routers can be configured to act as repeaters, but not all. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45437 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
