NETGEAR ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG302v2 Reference Manual
Multiple BSSIDs. Support for multiple BSSIDs. When one AP is connected to a wired
network and a set of wireless stations, it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). The Basic
Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of
packets sent over a WLAN that differentiates one WLAN from another when a mobile device
tries to connect to the network.
DHCP Client and Server Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other
devices upon request. The WAG302v2 can obtain network information from a DHCP server
on your network. The AP can also act as a DHCP server and provide network information for
wireless clients.
SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management
Information Base (MIB) management.

WAG302v2 Key Features

The WAG302v2 provides solid functionality, including these features:
Multiple Operating Modes
Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11a and 802.11b/g wireless access
point.
Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WAG302v2 only communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless station.
Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WAG302v2 acts as the "master" for a
group of bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations send all
traffic to this "master", and do not communicate directly with each other.
Wireless Repeater. In this mode, the WAG302v2 operates as both a wireless access point
and a wireless bridge.
Rogue Access Point Detection. For enhanced security, you can scan the wireless network to
detect rogue access points.
Hotspot Settings. You can allow all HTTP (TCP, port 80) requests to be captured and re-
directed to the URL you specify.
Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily,
using only your Web browser, and can be upgraded remotely. You can also upgrade firmware
from the command line interface (CLI) by using TFTP.
Access Control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only
trusted wireless stations can use the WAG302v2 to gain access to your LAN.
