How To Configure Wireless Repeating - NETGEAR WG302 - 802.11g ProSafe Wireless Access Point Reference Manual

• All WG302 Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and
encryption in use.
• All Point-to-Point APs must have AP2's MAC address in its Remote AP MAC address
field.
Verify connectivity across the LANs.
3.
• A PC 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 LAN segments.
• Wireless stations will not be able to connect to the WG302 Access Points in the
illustration above. If you require wireless stations to access any lan segment, you can
additional WG302 Access Points configured in Wireless Access Point mode to any LAN
segment.
Note: You can extend this multi-point bridging by adding additional WG302s configured in
Point-to-Point mode for each additional LAN segment. Furthermore, you can extend the range of
the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories.
