Abstract:
A Wi-Fi network configured for Wi-Fi client bridging using Layer 2 (L2) tunnels includes a plurality of access points each being one or more of a parent node, a child node, and a gateway node in the Wi-Fi network; wherein the plurality of access points are interconnected in a tree via a plurality of backhaul links and wherein each of the plurality of access points are configured to communicate with Wi-Fi client devices via a plurality of client links; and wherein each of the plurality of backhaul links is formed via a Layer 2 (L2) tunnel over a backhaul Wi-Fi interface between each parent node and each child node.
