Re: I need help setting up the wireless bridge

Yes, for the competition field the DLink gets changed to bridge mode, it gets set to use 802.11n and 5GHz exclusively and special field security settings are also made.
That works because the driver station laptop does not use it's own wireless in competition. The Driver Station is connected by Ethernet to the field AP which does the AP job.

If you want to use a similar setup at home, then you'll need an additional AP device to do what the field AP does.
It's much simplier to use the DLink AP setting at home.
