A wireless client bridge connects two wireless networks together over WiFi. The wireless bridge acts as a client, logging in to the primary router and getting an Internet connection, which it passes on to the devices connected to the EZhotspot Extender's Yellow LAN ports. All connected devices on the Yellow Port of the EZhotspot Extender get the DHCP assignment from the primary router.
