I still don't get why smartbridge makes the full change and doesn't allow for a fallback option besides firmware I mean keep the old code there and add new code and make it an optional choice to the ISP to "mac-nat" as I call it or to transparently bridge it.

Is this a matter of bridge & access point ???
or is this an issue with an airbridge.
Will other CPE than smartbridge do it ???
or
Do we need an accesspoint no matter the manufacturer I use ???

Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Backhaul with Air bridge.
If the airBridge is connected directly to the router and with old
firmware (transparent bridge), this will work.
Please refer to this FAQ

Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Backhaul with Air bridge.
I had the same question and was told that this:
"Is it advisable to use aPPO in client bridge mode at the base station.
If
you want to use airBridge, then it has to connect to a router with
transparent bridge firmware. Because airBridge with newer firmware, it
does Mac translation, so you can't pass traffic to internet in that
setup. "
So this setup is preferred:
Base Station----aPPO (CB)-----------aPPO (AP)----------Wireless clients.
With this, it is transparent bridge and can support multimac.

In theory I think this is fine because the Airbridge at the customer
recive and
send information to the internet.
I think that you can connect the Airbridge to the router or
switch>>>connect
using wireless to the APP0 and have our customers connect to that APPO
using
wireless.
(wired)router>>>Airbridge>>>>APPO>>>Customers using Airbridge indoor or
outdoor.
Is this what you did?
