The following drawing illustrates two wireless access points daisy-chained together in wireless

repeater mode

To configure a LAN segment utilizing the WG602v3 in Repeater Mode:

1. Configure the Operating Mode of the Wireless APs.

• Configure AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address of

the “downstream” remote AP (AP2).

• Configure AP2 in Repeater mode with the MAC address of the “upstream” AP (AP1).

2. Verify the following parameters for all access points:

• That the Wireless APs are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range

as the LAN devices.

• That all APs are on the same LAN. That is, all AP LAN IP addresses must be in the same

network.

• If using DHCP, that all Wireless APs should be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically

(DHCP Client)” in the IP Address section of the IP Settings screen.

• That all Wireless APs use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and

encryption in use.

3. Verify connectivity across the LANs.

A computer 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 WLAN segments.
