Abstract
A softAP bridge is created to support a mesh network that also works seamlessly with any home Wi-Fi AP routers by using Layer-3 techniques to simulate a Layer-2 bridge. With this softAP bridge, Wi-Fi chipsets with integrated special Wi-Fi MAC Layer-2 mesh network support (e.g., 802.11s), or external gateway hubs, are not required. To accomplish this solution, one of the wireless devices may be designated as a relay device for communicating IPv6 data packets between a home AP router and the remaining wireless devices designated as client devices.
