bridge

GBK English to Hebrew Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks
Definition from Watch Guard:
A piece of hardware used to connect two local area networks, or segments of a LAN, so that devices on the network can communicate without requiring a router. Bridges can only connect networks running the same protocol.
Example sentences:
Create a single network segment using a bridge. In this solution, the separate LAN segments are bridged together to create a single network segment. With a single network segment, neighboring nodes on separate LAN segments send packets directly to each other and bridges forward the packets to the destination node on the appropriate LAN segment. (Microsoft Tech Net)
A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model, and the term layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably with bridge. (Wikipedia)
Extend the functionality of your network with this universal Wi-Fi bridge. The bridge enables a laptop or PC user without built-in wireless capability to connect to a wireless LAN . (MacWarehaouse)

גשר

גשר would be the official translation, especially in documentation.

However, a more common way to say Bridge in Hebrew would be to say the English word - ברידג'.
This would work better in verbal form, and most probably even in written form. Better chance of being understood, as all professionals know what a bridge is, and yet a large percentage may not know what you mean when you say or write גשר.
