The media bridge is connected by Ethernet or network cable with your client devices such as your TV, DVD player, or game console; connected wirelessly with your router either on the 2.4GHz (default) or 5GHz band.

The router is installed near the modem (typically supplied by your ISP “Internet Service Provider”) and is physically connected via Ethernet or network cable from the router’s Internet port to the modem’s network port. 2.4GHz wireless signals are broadcasted from the router to wireless clients such as laptops (with wireless capability) and the less congested 5GHz wireless signals are broadcasted from the router to other wireless client devices such as the media bridge, TEW800MB, which connects with your TV, game console, or DVD player, thereby providing Internet access for all network ready devices.
