Best Answer

Bridge mode allows to connect to geographically separate piece of the same network together. For instance you have one piece of the network in one building and another one in another building. You can't use a cable to connect them together. In such situation you might have to use a bridge.

Does a bridge separate collision domains?

No a bridge will transmit all network protocols to all ports, without restriction; thus the term "Bridge." A Router in true bridge mode will do the same, unless you implement some form of route management (managed bridge / router).

Why is a router called a stateless device?

Actually not all routers are stateless devices. There are stateful routers also. The definition depends on the IP filtering and routing algorithms used. Routers which have static IP filters and routing tables are of the stateless type. Routers with Static IP filters allow direct connections from the external network to hosts on the internal network and typically there is no authentication. More intelligent and secure routers with dynamic IP address and packet based filtering are known as stateful type. Stateful routers can also have application proxies or gateways. These have more overheads for processing packets passing through the routers. - Neeraj Sharma


What is the effect of the op amp in the circuit?

So long as you remain with the range of the device (power supply rails less a volt or two), the output of an op-amp will go to what ever value is required to maintain the input stages (bridge) to remain the same. So, the effect on input voltage on output of an op-amp is dependent on the feedback circuit.

Can you hard wire 2 computers using a wireless router connected to a cable modem?

Maybe. I have a couple Belkin 54G v6000 and v8000 routers that can do this. If the routers support "wireless bridging" (also known as "WDS", "Repeater", or "Client-Mode") then you can set up one in client/bridge mode and the other as a host/router. You'll have to check the manual and see if this is supported, and how to configure it.

What equipment is used in connecting two wireless routers?

Wireless routers can be connected via an ethernet cable in the same way as wired routers. If the second router has a client mode feature then the routers can also be connected wirelessly otherwise the second router will only function as a wireless access point.


How do you hook up two wireless router on the same network with both routers located in different rooms?

You have to choose which router is the main one. After that you can configure second router to create "bridge" with the main one. It's better if you have both routers of the same manufacture and model. Many routers even so can be configured for "bridge" usually do not work with different models and manufactures.


What is the difference between bridge mode and router mode on an ADSL router?

The basis difference between bridge and router mode in a Modem is to identify where does the user creditials are stored. In router mode, they are stored in the modem/router itself. In Bridge mode, creditials are stored on a pc and you would need to click on connection icon / connection to establish the connection KK@Melbourne
