ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP620
For example, first configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-1 with the MAC address
of AP2, and then configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-2 with the MAC address
of AP3 (see Figure 70 on page 122).
2. Activate the wireless access point (AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Figure 70 on page 122) as
a point-to-multipoint bridge (that is, it is the master in the wireless network):
a. On the Bridging screen, select the Enable Wireless Bridging check box.
b. Select the Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge radio button.
c. Select the Enable Wireless Client Association check box to enable wireless client
association.
Note: If you do not select the Enable Wireless Client Association check
box, the wireless access point does not function in
point-to-multipoint bridge but in repeater mode.
d. If the correct profile names and security options are displayed in the table, select the
check boxes in the Enable column for all security profiles that you want to enable.
e. Click Apply on the Bridging screen to activate your point-to-multipoint bridge
settings.
3. Configure AP2 on LAN Segment 2 (see Figure 70 on page 122) in point-to-point bridge
mode with the remote MAC address of AP1.
4. Configure AP3 on LAN Segment 3 (see Figure 70 on page 122) in point-to-point bridge
mode with the remote MAC address of AP1.
5. Verify the following for all wireless access points:
•Only AP1 on LAN Segment 1 is configured in point-to-multipoint bridge mode, and all
others APs are configured in point-to-point bridge mode.
•AP2 and AP3 (the point-to-point APs) have AP1’s MAC address in their Remote MAC
Address field.
•All APs are on the same LAN, that is, the LAN IP addresses of all APs are in the same
network as the LAN devices.
•If you use DHCP, all wireless access points can obtain IP addresses automatically (as
DHCP clients). For more information, see Configure the Optional DHCPv4 Server on
page 27 or Configure the Optional DHCPv6 Server on page 101.
•All wireless access points use the same channel, authentication mode, and security
settings.
6. 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 devices or servers connected to any of the three LAN
segments.
