Configure The Wireless Access Point For Repeater Mode - NETGEAR ProSafe WNAP320 Reference Manual

Note: You can extend this multipoint bridging configuration by adding
additional wireless access points that are 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.

Configure the Wireless Access Point for Repeater Mode

In repeater mode, the wireless access point operates as a repeater only, without
communication with other wireless clients. All traffic is sent to the remote or downstream
wireless access point. You can configure up to four security profiles to enable the wireless
access point to function as a repeater for four remote wireless access points. Each security
profile requires a unique name and must include the MAC address of the remote wireless
access point. You can configure up to four such security profiles (NETGEAR-WDS-1,
NETGEAR-WDS-2, and so on).
The following figure shows an example in which AP1, AP2, and AP3 function in repeater
bridge mode. AP2 requires a security profile for AP1 and another one for AP3:
