For that matter, it's my objective to set it
and forget it as to cables; I want to be able to address the bridge
wirelessly so that each new harbor can be configured without my having
to do the plug and play bit. It had been my original presumption that
I would have to do as you described, but Bill Kearney and others in
this space have asserted that it's not necessary.


At the very least the bridge will have to be reconfigured to address a
new SSID unless you only look for defaults. Reconfiguring should be
really quick and painless once you get the process down.

1. Network scan
2. Select SSID
3. Connect
4. Test with PC
5. Disconnect PC, connect AP/router, test
