Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG102
1. Configure the Operating Mode of the WAG102 Access Points.
• WAG102 (AP1) on LAN Segment 1 in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address of
AP2.
• Configure WAG102 (AP2) in Repeater mode with MAC addresses of AP1 and AP3.
• Configure the WAG102 (AP3) in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address of AP2.
2. Verify the following parameters for all access points:
• Verify that the LAN network configuration the WAG102 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 WAG102 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 WAG102 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 2 additional WAG102s configured in
repeater mode. However, since Repeater configurations 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.
