A multi-radio bridge for cost effectively increasing the throughput associated with the bridging of multiple LANs together. The multi-radio bridge incorporates two or more radio devices which provide for substantially simultaneous communication between two or more client-bridges and the multi-radio bridge. Employment of the multiple radios allows for different hopping sequences and/or PN codes to be used so as to avoid collisions between information containing packets. The multi-radio bridge avoids the need to have to add a new bridge for every new LAN added to the system. Furthermore, in systems having extremely heavy traffic, the multi-radio bridge can dedicate two or more radios (operating at different FH sequences and/or PN codes) to one client-bridge thus doubling or more the amount of network traffic throughput.
