  • Multiple wired client support on a wireless workgroup bridge
    Patent number: 8934420
    Abstract: A method is provided to receive and transmit network frames across a network. A wireless access point device is configured operate as a wireless bridge (e.g., wireless workgroup bridge) to reserve a predetermined number of bits of a media access control (MAC) address of the wireless access point device. Combinations of the predetermined number of bits can be assigned by the wireless access point device to respective ones of a plurality of wired clients of the wireless access point device. The wireless access point device can store data that maps the combinations of the predetermined number of bits of the mapped MAC addressees. The access point device can then process downstream network frames received wirelessly from a root wireless access point and can process upstream network frames received from the plurality of wired clients.
