Explanation
A wireless bridge connects two separate network segments wirelessly, allowing devices on both LANs to communicate as if they were on the same network. It is ideal when a physical cable run is impossible (e.g., across a parking lot or between buildings) and when the connection is temporary. A wireless repeater extends a single network's range rather than joining two networks. Bluetooth has very limited range and throughput, making it unsuitable for LAN-to-LAN file sharing. A RADIUS server provides authentication services and does not connect networks.
