You’re awesome. I was jobless and depressed for sometime. I ran into your videos 2 years ago. Since then I was inspired and got into tech. Currently studying for the Security + and PMP certifications. I’m also learning a lot about hardware from your comptia videos! Tech is so fun! I want to get into blockchain as it’s amazing tech. Maybe someday you’ll cover it too. PS: I showed a couple of my students your cloud video, they were hooked! They studied IT in primary school but were blown away by how simple you made understanding it.
I just want you to know I have learned so much from you. its so hard watching people just talk without animations and this has been an easy and flawless learning capability for me. Seriously I thank you for all of my certifications or if I am stuck on not understanding a particular video.
I don't know why I'm going to college when my professors is right here... My college professor take long to teach and guess what I don't understand shit he teach.... Thank you powercert I will remember you in my future career❤️❤️
Great video. I used to flash some old Linksys routers have with the DD-WRT firmware and setup wireless bridge mode. Another use case for this is to connect devices that don't have wifi built-in but need internet access AND you can't run a cable from the device to the router. I used to have a Sony Blu-Ray player that could connect to the internet via ethernet or through a nearly $100 USB wifi adapter that only worked with certain player models. With my wireless bridge I was able to connect my Blu-Ray player to the internet without having to run an ethernet cable across the hous. Nowadays, most devices have wifi built-in so its not that big of an issue anymore, but it still can come in handy. Pretty cool stuff to learn and play with.
Hello, my dear friend, I'm sorry I'm a bit late to the party but CONGRATS on hitting 1M subs, well deserved... I am living proof that your videos are the best, I started watching your videos back in 2018, while working a minimum wage job, I went ahead and got myself 11 IT certs and now I am living the dream, over the past 7 months I bought a house and brand-new car, all this while being in the IT field for only 3 years, becoming a SYSTEM/NETWORK ADMIN was the best decision I ever made...
The video was well done EXCEPT there was no discussion about wireless signal strength. Trying to get a wireless signal from a SOHO router from one building to another is likely not possible because the signal likely won't be strong enough. Also, if the signal is only 2 bars in strength, that means all connections going through the bridge (wired or wireless) will be limited in speed to the 2 bars of signal from the distant router. I also would have liked to see the option of buying a wireless bridge to connect two routers over greater distances, which would likely be required in the example shown here to get a much stronger (and therefore FASTER) signal from one router to the other.
All you need is external signal booster or repeaters on both ends. If you have access to roof of both buildings the best choice would be directional antennas.
congrats for 1M subs, powercert! That's really well-deserved. You have helped many IT Students like me, and you can help more in the future. I really love this channel.
keep making more videos !, learning cybersecurity from Udemy and didnt understand few things in lecture on home routers and just today i watch alot of your video topics such as what is subnet , gatway , modem , router , and more to undertsand more stuff and just watched that lecture again and now i understand fully like getting more excited to learn from you about these basic networking things in a simple animated video to understand perfectly. Thanks a lot !
One thing that should be noted. The routers DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE SAME. I just bridged an old two band Linksys router with a new D-Link tri-band router. I have a desktop that relied on a small USB wireless adapter...a less than ideal internet solution. I connected to the ethernet port on the Linksys router and now have 1 gbs. The bridge mode on some routers give more than one security protocol to bridge with...WPA2 was the best choice for this configuration.
Hi can you make videos describing routing protocols such as EIGRP, OSFP etc.? I know you've explained it before but can you also make a more in depth and comprehensive walkthrough on how the OSI model works?
I am curious … I have an asus nighthawk router as well as my modem/router from ATT fiber … Will one bring the other down if I bridge them? Or am I misunderstanding how it will work
What about the main office router, what if want to connect to the modem, by wirless instead of wire and thorugh it i broadcast wireless net to other routers, can i do this?
Nice Explanation.. I want to confirm just one thing that both routers should in wireless coverage range ( distance)? And if both routers should be in wireless coverage range ( distance) that is very short, so is there any other way to connect for longer distances?
If this is possible why do I install point to point antenna systems to link a main building to a remote office as part of my job? How far does a wireless bridge work?
i wish in the next video you woul teach us diffrence between wireless bridge mode vs AP-Client mode. pros and cons. its been bugging me for years.. thanks!
Bridge Mode is explained in this video. Basically joining two networks together. AP 'Client Mode' is acting like a USB Wi-Fi dongle but receiving packets using LAN Port(s) (Think of PCs, Printers, TVs with LAN Ports) instead of USB Ports. You can add a Network switch to the AP in 'Client Mode" to expand to extra PCs/TVs Etc... I'll give u an example. Let's say I would like to put my Printer which has a LAN port but no built in Wi-Fi, in another room to save space but I don't want to pull a network cable. So I'll just buy a cheapo Wi-Fi extender and configure it as Client mode and link to the main router via 2.4ghz. From the Extender's buttocks i patch a network cable to the printer and Voila, there you have it. In the Future I may want to add a network switch to it's buttocks to expand more LAN ports for a PC and TV.
Hello, thank you for sharing invaluable IT knowledge with us. I've been watching your videos for years, and I appreciated the way you explain things. I wonder if you be interested in making a video about MoCA WiFi. Thank you for your time.
Excellent. Many questions answered. But...if the secondary building is getting only 2 or 3 bars, would you recommend an external repeater, master-slave setup?
The ideal thing would be to run an ethernet cable to the secondary building or a fiber cable and then install a wifi access point in that building for better network coverage. The thing with mesh devices an extenders and repeaters are that the speed and performance greatly depends on how far the other building is as well as any other obstacles like trees, buildings, weather, etc. If the buildings are too far to feasibly run a cable, you could setup a point to point wireless link on the roofs of either building and then install a network switch and a wifi access point at the second building.
@JJFlores197 ...thank you. The latter is the more likely my outcome. Ironically, the outbuilding gets 3 bars at the closest point to the main building but drops rapidly. in few feet later.
@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos it would be a great resourceful, because our school professor is recommending this powerful channel, so i'll be waiting to your n10-007 & n10-008. Thank you so much!!
I happen to have a spare modem during the Wifi 5 era, I convert this into a bridge and put it into my bedroom when my separate & main Wifi 6 modem is doing all the work in the living room. Mesh is nice, but a spare modem is even nicer.

This channel and Professor Messer I highly recommend
block chain is just hyped. Good for only a narrow range of services. Don't bother with it.
By far the best explanation i’ve seen so far, a lot of websites can’t differentiate extender and bridge.
Best video ever on how a wifi bridge works! Non-technical laymen's terms way of explaining so anyone can understand. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!
Congratulations on the one million subscribers! 👍

and if too far apart, now u need a internet router, tunnel encryption, secure id etc etc yadda yadda
But the Wi-Fi devices are so near each other. Based on my 27" monitor it's only 5" apart.
I think he’s trying to get the basics down using a ”perfect world” scenario so people can wrap their heads around the idea of bridge mode
@@allenperera6158 Well played, sir. Well played.
I just want to say Thank you so much for your work.

Nice Concept Bro.
I Want To Start A VPN Business And Such Videos Are Helpful Thanks Bro.
I Wish You Can Talk About How VPN Works In A Separate Video.
What about the main office router, what if want to connect to the modem, by wirless instead of wire and thorugh it i broadcast wireless net to other routers, can i do this?
I don't understand what you would want to do that.
Nice Explanation.. I want to confirm just one thing that both routers should in wireless coverage range ( distance)?
And if both routers should be in wireless coverage range ( distance) that is very short, so is there any other way to connect for longer distances?
maybe using satellite
For longer distances, use a Point to Point Wireless Bridge. Some are even meant for outdoor use.
Love how you described it
And also subscribed.
Good job 👍👌
this is cool. thanks for the video !
Great video many thanks
If this is possible why do I install point to point antenna systems to link a main building to a remote office as part of my job? How far does a wireless bridge work?
This is certainly possible. This setup isn't meant to be used as a way to connect buildings that are far away from each other.
this is the content people want on TH-cam. awesome. Sir, what software do you use to create videos? and which software for thumbnail? please sir help.
The creator has mentioned in previous comments that he uses Microsoft PowerPoint and Macromedia Fireworks.
Hi! Will there be a decrease in internet speed provided by the 2nd router when in bridge mode?
It depends on how far away your 2nd router is from the main router.
