Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g WG302

5-12 Advanced Configuration

July 2005 v3.0

– Configure the WG302 (AP3) in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address of AP2.

2. Verify the following parameters for all access points:

• Verify that the LAN network configuration the WG302 Access Points are configured to

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

• All APs must be on the same LAN. That is, all the APs LAN IP address must be in the

same network.

• If using DHCP, all WG302 Access Points should be set to “Obtain an IP address

automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings

menu.

• All WG302 Access Points 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.

Note: You can extend this repeating by adding up to 2 additional WG302s configured in repeater

mode. However, since Repeater configurations communicate in half-duplex mode, the bandwidth

decreases as you add Repeaters to the network. Also, you can extend the range of the wireless

network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories.
