NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 Reference Manual

5-4 Advanced Wireless Bridging

v1.0, September 2008

The following figure illustrates a multi-point bridge setup over three LAN segments.

To configure wireless access points in a multi-point configuration:

1. Set the Operating Mode of the three NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Points as follows (see

Figure 5-1):

• Configure AP2 on LAN Segment 1 in Point to Multi-Point Bridge Mode. Add the Remote

MAC Address of AP1 on LAN Segment 2. (see Figure 5-2)

• Because it is in the central location, configure AP1 on LAN Segment 2 in Multi-Point

Bridging mode. Add the MAC addresses of the adjacent Point-to-Point APs (AP2 and

AP3).

• Configure AP3 on LAN 3 in Point to Multi-Point Bridge mode. Add the Remote MAC

Address of AP1 on LAN Segment 2.

2. Verify the following parameters for all three wireless access points:

• That the LAN network configuration of each of the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Points

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

(routers, hubs and switches).

• That only one profile of AP1 is configured in Multi-Point Bridging mode.

• That all APs are on the same LAN. That is, all the wireless access point LAN IP addresses

are in the same network.
