Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG302

5-10 Advanced Configuration

202-10078-01

• Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge: Select this only if this WAG302 is the "Master" for a

group of Bridge-mode Wireless Stations. The other Bridge-mode Wireless Stations must be set

to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using this WAG302's MAC address. They then send all traffic

to this "Master", rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP can (and should) be

used to protect this traffic.

• Repeater: If selected, this AP will operate as a Repeater only, and send all traffic to the remote

AP. If selected, you must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the remote AP.

How to Configure a WAG302 as a Point-to-Point Bridge

Figure 5-7: Point-to-Point Bridge

Configure the WAG302 (AP1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.

2. Configure the WAG302 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.

AP1 must have AP2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field and AP2 must have

AP1’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.

3. Configure and verify the following parameters for both access points:

• Verify that the LAN network configuration of the WAG302 Access Points both are

configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices

• Both use the same ESSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and security settings if

security is in use.
