A wireless bridge increases the wireless signal strength of the access point.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if placed on a line-of-sight path
• D. Only with a repeater mode

Answer: (B)

A wireless bridge is used to connect two separate LANs over a wireless link, effectively extending the network to another location. It does not boost or increase the access point’s signal strength. The bridge simply passes traffic between the two networks, and the quality of that link depends on distance, interference, and antenna setup. If you want to extend coverage by repeating the same signal, you’d use a repeater/extender, though that often reduces overall bandwidth. So the statement is not correct; a bridge doesn’t increase the access point’s signal strength.
