To configure a LAN segment utilizing the WG602v4 in Repeater Mode:

1.Configure the Operating Mode of the Wireless APs.

•Configure AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address of the “downstream” remote AP (AP2).

•Configure AP2 in Repeater mode with the MAC address of the “upstream” AP (AP1).

2.Verify the following parameters for all access points:

•That the Wireless APs are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.

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

•If using DHCP, that all Wireless APs should be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address section of the IP Settings screen.

•That all Wireless APs 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.
