A wireless bridge is a device which converts an 802.3 transmission into an 802.11 transmission.

In other words, it's a transparent Ethernet to WiFi adapter.

802.11ac is fast, really fast. In fact it's so fast that no consumer Ethernet standard can actually saturate the wireless link speed. Just like 802.11n, 802.11ac includes a large number of forward looking standards which will give manufacturers something to implement in the future before the next standard comes along.

What Netgear is recommending, and the author does a rather poor job of relaying this, is to use a wireless bridge to group a number of wired connections together (ala a traditional Ethernet switch) and connect them to the wireless router through the 802.11ac bridge...

This effectively replaces a wired span with a wireless link that is completely transparent to the endpoints.
