Wireless bridge question

Iv tried searching the net for this question but cant seem to find a answer.

Do you have to connect to the bridge manually once setup or does it just act as a signal booster for the main router?

Example...

One room in a house has zero wifi so has a bridge setup in that room, do you have to connect to that bridge maually or does it kinda piggyback the main router signal....does that make any sense?

Thanks neil

It sounds like you want a wireless extender rather than a bridge.

Oh ok then....got a spare router thats all and thought it would come in to use.

Router capabilities vary. If you tell us what you are using someone may be able to help.

Ok my main router is a belkin n1 vision which has replaced a dlink dir-615.

Was going to use the 615 to get better signal upstairs for the ipads
