Advanced Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your WG602v4 to one of four
Access Point Modes or in Client Mode.These features can be found under the Advanced heading
in the main menu on the Wireless Settings Wireless Bridging screens.
Configuring Access Point Modes
The NETGEAR WG602v4 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point lets you build large wireless networks.
Examples of wireless bridging configurations are:
• Access Point. Standard Access Point mode (default mode). Operates as a standard 802.11g or
802.11b Access Point. In this mode, the WG602 will communicate only with wireless clients.
• Wireless point-to-point bridging. Communicates with single bridge-mode wireless access
point.
• Wireless multi-point bridging. Acts as the “master” and communicates with up to four
bridge-mode wireless access points. All of the other wireless access points communicate
through the WG602v4 when theWG602v4 is in this mode.
• Repeater with Wireless Client Association. Acts as a “repeater” and forwards all traffic to a
remote access point.
• Client Mode. Operates as a client bridge only and sends traffic to either a remote access point
(Infrastructure) or a peer device (Ad-Hoc). MAC Cloning can also be enabled when in Client
Mode by entering the MAC Clone Address.
Configuring a WG602v4 as a Point-to-Point Bridge

when you enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other Bridge Mode Wireless Station. In
addition, if you check the Enable Wireless Client Association radio box, wireless clients will
Warning: If Client Mode is selected, the wireless access point will reboot and all
settings will be lost. You must then reconfigure the device.
