USE AND NEED FOR A NETWORK
BRIDGE
Installation of a MR140 Wi-Fi Bridge (R1)
A Wi-Fi bridge is designed to expand the range of a wireless Home Network to cover more ground
inside the house and reach all peripherals within in need of wireless connectivity without having to
string Cat-5 cable all over the house.
Symptom
Should the wireless range of the Home Network router prove insufficient for all Music Flow
speakers in the house to connect to it wirelessly in order to share the exact same network
then, installation of one or more bridge may need to be considered.
How to connect
- If a speaker or Network Bridge (R1) is wired to a router, it will provide a greater network
stability environment with expansion of the signal range to reach farther beyond one access
point (AP) router’s limitations. Please refer to the following diagram for further information.
► Installing a Network Bridge (R1) – Hard wired:
If you are using more than two speakers, it is better to connect a Bridge (R1) to the router with
cable before installing speakers.
► Installing a Network Bridge (R1) – Wireless:
If a speaker is too far from a router, connect a speaker to the Network AP router by hardwiring
it with cable and then install a Bridge (R1) between the speakers.
