NETGEAR ProSafe Access Points: WNAP210 and WNDAP350

You can connect APs to the wireless controller either directly with an Ethernet cable through
a router, or switch or remotely through an IP network. After you have used the automatic
discovery process and added APs to the managed AP list on the wireless controller, the
wireless controller converts the standard APs to dependent APs by pushing firmware to the
APs. From then on, you can centrally manage and monitor the APs.
