 Wireless Bridge/Repeater mode in Gargoyle uses relayd. This is also known as a Routed Client with relayd (Pseudobridge). The relayd package helps to implement a bridge-like behaviour with DHCP and Broadcast relaying comparable to the proprietary Broadcom WET mode. Wireless Bridge/Repeater mode in Gargoyle uses relayd.

 +**Use this mode with caution, see below for details.**

 +
 +===== Configuration =====
 +
 +This example is for the Gargoyle relayd router. Connect to the SSID of the wireless AP router using known connection parameters.

 +
 +===== Relayd Router connection access =====
 +
 +When the save button is pressed you will loose router connection. If the wrong configuration is entered it is possible that the only option to connect/recover the relayd router is a  "**failsafe reset**"
 +
 +==== Access option 1 ====
 +
 +If the configuration is setup correctly the new IP address for the **"relayd router"** will be in the DHCP table of the **"AP router"** under the name "unknown"

 +
 +==== Access option 2 ====
 +
 +If you can remember the "Bridge IP" you can manualy set the NIC IP to be in the same subnet and access via Bridge IP address
 +

 +
 +
 +===== Caveat =====
 +
 +Devices can only access to the internet if Enforce DHCP assignments is unticked.
 +
 +If the "relayed router" can not access "Wireless AP" all connections will be lost including access to the relayed router.
