NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual

•Configure WG302v2 (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC Address of AP 1.

•Configure the WG302v2 (AP 3) on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC Address of AP 1.

2.Verify the following for all access points:

•The LAN network configuration of the ProSafe 802.11g s are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices

•Only one AP is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode, and all the others are in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.

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

•If using DHCP, all ProSafe 802.11g s should be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings menu.

•All ProSafe 802.11g s 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 in the Remote AP MAC address field.

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 LAN segments.

•Wireless stations will not be able to connect to the ProSafe 802.11g s in Figure 4-6. If you require wireless stations to access any LAN segment, you can use additional ProSafe 802.11g s configured in Wireless Access Point mode to any LAN segment.

Note: You can extend this multi-point bridging by adding additional WG302v2s configured in Point-to-Point mode for each additional LAN segment. Furthermore, you can extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories.
