Basiclly a bridge connects network segments.


A network segment is a single section of network media that connects computers.
For example, suppose you have three computers: computer A, computer B, and computer C. Computer A has two Ethernet network adapters, and computers B and C have one Ethernet network adapter each. An Ethernet cable connecting A to B would create one network segment. An additional Ethernet cable connecting A to C would create a network segment.



Basic Ethernet-to-Wireless. This type connects directly to a single device via an Ethernet port, and then provides a wireless connection to an access point


They can run anywhere from $35
to over a thousand. Tehy really dont make bridgesa anymore, they are a dying tech replaced by switches and hubs.
