ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 Reference Manual
For example, first configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-1 with the MAC address
of AP1, and then configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-2 with the MAC address
of AP3 (see Figure 57 on p
age 92).
2. Activate repe
ater mode on the wireless access point (AP2 in Figure 57 on page 92):
a. On th
e Bridging screen, select the Enable Wireless Bridging check box.
b. Select
the Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge radio button.
c. Clear th
e Enable Wireless Client Association check box to disable wireless client
association (see the red circle in Figure 58 o
n page 93).
Note: If you do not clear the Enable Wireless Client Association check box,
the wireless access point will not function in repeater mode but in
point-to-multipoint bridge mode.
d. If the correct profile names and security options are displayed in the table, select the
check boxes in the Enable column for all security profiles that you want to enable.
e. Click Apply in th
e Bridging screen to activate your repeater settings.
3. Conf
igure AP1 on LAN Segment 1 (see Figure 57 on page 92) in repeater mode with the
remote MAC address of AP2.
4. Conf
igure AP3 on LAN Segment 3 (see Figure 57 on page 92) in repeater mode with the
remote MAC address of AP2.
5. V
erify the following for all wireless access points:
All APs must be
on the same LAN, that is, the LAN IP addresses of all APs must be in
the same network as the LAN devices.
If you use DHCP
, all wireless access points must obtain an IP address automatically
(as a DHCP client). For more information, see Configure IP Settings and Optional
DHCP Server Settings on page 21.
All wireless a
ccess points must use the same channel, authentication mode, and
security settings.
6. V
erify connectivity across the LANs:
A compute
r 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 two LAN
segments.
Note: You can extend the repeating functionality by adding up to two more
wireless access points that are configured in repeater mode.
However, since repeaters 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.
