Wireless Client Bridge is used to connect two LAN segments via a wireless link.
The two segments will be in the same subnet and look like two Ethernet switches connected by a cable to all computers on the subnet

Since the computers are on the same subnet, broadcasts will reach all machines, allowing DHCP clients in one segment to get their addresses from a DHCP server in a different segment.
