3G Broadband Wireless Router MBR624GU User Manual

Configure the access point (AP3) on LAN Segment 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the remote MAC address of the MBR624GU router.

2.Disable the DHCP server on AP2 and AP3. AP1 will then be the DHCP server.

3.Verify the following for all access points:

The LAN network configuration of the router and other access points are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.

Only one AP, the MBR624GU router in Figure 5-9, is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode; all the others are in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.

All APs, including the MBR624GU router, must be on the same LAN. That is, all the AP LAN IP addresses must be in the same network.

All APs, including the MBR624GU router, must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and encryption in use.

All point-to-point APs must have the MAC address of AP 1 (the MBR624GU router in the above diagram) in the Remote AP MAC address field.

4.Verify connectivity across the LANs.

A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments.

Note: Wireless stations configured as they are in Figure 5-9will not be able to connect to the router or access points. If you require wireless stations to access any LAN

segment, you can use additional access points configured in Wireless Access Point mode in any LAN segment.

Repeater with Wireless Client Association

In this mode, the Wireless Router sends all traffic to a remote AP. For Repeater mode, you must enter the MAC address of the remote “parent” access point. Alternatively, you can configure the Wireless Router as the parent by entering the address of a “child” access point. Note that the following restrictions apply:

You do not have the option of disabling client associations with this Wireless Router.

You cannot configure a sequence of parent/child APs. You are limited to only one parent AP, although if the MBR624GU router is the parent AP it can connect with up to four child APs.
