Wireless Bridge Mode - Networking

Wireless bridge mode is a feature that’s built into a wifi router that wirelessly connects 2 networks together and makes them one network. And it does this by using a router’s wireless signal to connect to another router’s signal to bridge the 2 networks together.

You’re awesome. I was jobless and depressed for sometime. I ran into your videos 2 years ago. Since then I was inspired and got into tech. Currently studying for the Security + and PMP certifications. I’m also learning a lot about hardware from your comptia videos! Tech is so fun! I want to get into blockchain as it’s amazing tech. Maybe someday you’ll cover it too.

PS: I showed a couple of my students your cloud video, they were hooked! They studied IT in primary school but were blown away by how simple you made understanding it.

Congratulations on the one million subscribers! 👍

Best video ever on how a wifi bridge works! Non-technical laymen's terms way of explaining so anyone can understand. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

[briabolling]

I just want you to know I have learned so much from you. its so hard watching people just talk without animations and this has been an easy and flawless learning capability for me. Seriously I thank you for all of my certifications or if I am stuck on not understanding a particular video.

I don't know why I'm going to college when my professors is right here... My college professor take long to teach and guess what I don't understand shit he teach.... Thank you powercert I will remember you in my future career❤️❤️

Great video. I used to flash some old Linksys routers have with the DD-WRT firmware and setup wireless bridge mode. Another use case for this is to connect devices that don't have wifi built-in but need internet access AND you can't run a cable from the device to the router. I used to have a Sony Blu-Ray player that could connect to the internet via ethernet or through a nearly $100 USB wifi adapter that only worked with certain player models. With my wireless bridge I was able to connect my Blu-Ray player to the internet without having to run an ethernet cable across the hous. Nowadays, most devices have wifi built-in so its not that big of an issue anymore, but it still can come in handy.
Pretty cool stuff to learn and play with.

The video was well done EXCEPT there was no discussion about wireless signal strength. Trying to get a wireless signal from a SOHO router from one building to another is likely not possible because the signal likely won't be strong enough. Also, if the signal is only 2 bars in strength, that means all connections going through the bridge (wired or wireless) will be limited in speed to the 2 bars of signal from the distant router. I also would have liked to see the option of buying a wireless bridge to connect two routers over greater distances, which would likely be required in the example shown here to get a much stronger (and therefore FASTER) signal from one router to the other.

You make (potentially) complex topics clear for people. Thank you.

Hello, my dear friend, I'm sorry I'm a bit late to the party but CONGRATS on hitting 1M subs, well deserved...

I am living proof that your videos are the best, I started watching your videos back in 2018, while working a minimum wage job, I went ahead and got myself 11 IT certs and now I am living the dream, over the past 7 months I bought a house and brand-new car, all this while being in the IT field for only 3 years, becoming a SYSTEM/NETWORK ADMIN was the best decision I ever made...

[oishirley]

I literally forgot how. Skipped your video until I found what I was looking for. East and fast. Thank you.

[olafelsberry]

I’ve got to say, because of you I have a deeper appreciation and understanding of computing.

[LaCorvette]

As always a clear and concise explanation. Enjoyable even in your spare time and there’s always something to learn.

[captainbluemccoy]

I just want to say Thank you so much for your work.

One thing that should be noted. The routers DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE SAME. I just bridged an old two band Linksys router with a new D-Link tri-band router. I have a desktop that relied on a small USB wireless adapter...a less than ideal internet solution. I connected to the ethernet port on the Linksys router and now have 1 gbs. The bridge mode on some routers give more than one security protocol to bridge with...WPA2 was the best choice for this configuration.

First congratulations for your success of million subscribers club, really you are the best teacher we have, your videos help me a lot. 🇧🇩

[Frxvyl]

Greatly explained, wonderful presentation and intuitive accent 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[zombiedudez]

Legend, this might actually be a good solution for getting my media server up and running via ethernet to my central router.

[bytehub]

Your videos are so clean man. I appreciate how you simplify things

[TrueInvisible]

impressive!
also congratulations for the 1million subs! you deserve even more!
