A wireless bridge connects Ethernet-based devices to the network.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only connects wireless devices
• D. Only works with routers

Answer: (A)

A wireless bridge connects a wired Ethernet segment to a wireless network by acting as a layer-2 bridge between the two sides, forwarding frames between the wired devices and the wireless network. This lets Ethernet-based devices access the network through the wireless link, just as if they were connected by cable. It does not only connect wireless devices; it specifically bridges the wired side to the wireless side. And it isn’t limited to working only with routers; it can extend or connect LAN segments in various ways, including to a router, but its primary role is bridging, not restricting to a router.
