Configure the Wireless Access Point to Repeat the Wireless
Signal Using Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Mode
You can configure the wireless access point to repeat the wireless signal, 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 repeat the wireless signal for four remote wireless access points. Each
security profile requires a unique name and needs to 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 repeat the wireless
signal in point-to-multipoint bridge mode. AP2 requires a security profile for AP1 and another
one for AP3:
