 However, this is not always possible. Both Wireless Ethernet Bridge and Media Bridge modes allow you to extend the LAN from one building to another. However, this is not always possible.

-If you have a large number of clients, and end-to-end LAN connectivity isn't a prerequisite, you might consider using Wireless Client mode. Doing so will stop broadcast packets from crossing the WiFi link, or at least reduce them to a minimum. Of course, intra-LAN communication over the single wireless link is limited in capacity, but it works well enough for low-bandwidth traffic. Setting the two wireless LANs to the same SSID username/password will allows clients to roam freely between buildings, retaining WiFi connectivity at both sites.+If you have a large number of clients, and end-to-end LAN connectivity isn't a prerequisite, you might consider using Wireless Client mode.
