NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 Reference Manual

The LAN network configuration of the WG102 Access Points are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices

All APs must be on the same LAN. That is, all the APs LAN IP address must be in the same network.

If using DHCP, all WG102 Access Points should be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings menu.

All WG102 Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and encryption in use.

3.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 WLAN segments.

Note: You can extend this repeating by adding up to two more WG102 Access Points configured in repeater mode. However, since repeaters communicate in half-duplex mode, the bandwidth decreases as you add repeaters to the network. Also, you can extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories.
