Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102
• Multi-Point Bridge
– Select this only if this WG102 is the "master" for a group of bridge-mode wireless
stations. Then all traffic is sent to this "master," rather than directly among each other.
– In addition, you have the option of enabling client associations with this WG102.
– For multi-point bridge mode, you must enter the MAC addresses of the other access points
in the fields provided.
– The other bridge-mode wireless stations must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using
the MAC address of this WG102 as the Remote MAC Address.
– Use WEP to protect this traffic.
• Repeater with Wireless Client Association
– Selected repeater mode to send all traffic to the remote AP.
– For repeater mode, you must enter the MAC address of the remote "parent" access point,
and optionally enter the address of the "child" access point.
– In repeater mode, you do not have the option of disabling client associations with this
WG102.
– In repeater mode, you cannot configure a sequence of parent/child APs; you are limited to
only one parent/child AP pair.
These features are discussed below.
