I just measured the distance: 9.50 meter.

My house has a strange shape. The following ASCII art is an attempt to illustrate it. AP is the access point, and B is the bridge

Code:
|  AP               |
|                   |
|                   |
|                   |
|                   |
|                   |
|                   |
|                   |
|                   |
|                   |
|------ door  ------|

 \                    \
  \                    \
   \                    \
    \                    \
     \                    \
      \                    \
       \                    \
        \                    \
         \                    \
          \                    \
           \                    \
            \                    \
             \                    \
              \                    \
               \                  B \
It took me quite a while to figure out the right position. I had to configure both devices in the living room at a distance of about 3 meter. Then I moved the bridge to its final position. While watching the signal strength I played with small variations in direction till I found the one with about 90 - 95% signal strength.
