Advanced Configuration

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360

Note: You can extend this multipoint bridging configuration by adding

additional wireless access points that are configured in point-to-point

mode for each additional LAN segment. Furthermore, you can

extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless

antenna accessories.

Configure the Wireless Access Point to Repeat the Wireless

Signal Using Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Mode

You can configure the wireless access point to repeat the wireless signal, without

communication with other wireless clients. All traffic is sent to the remote or downstream

wireless access point. You can configure up to four security profiles to enable the wireless

access point to repeat the wireless signal for four remote wireless access points. Each

security profile requires a unique name and needs to include the MAC address of the remote

wireless access point. You can configure up to four such security profiles

(NETGEAR-WDS-1, NETGEAR-WDS-2, and so on).

The following figure shows an example in

which AP1, AP2, and AP3 repeat the wireless

signal in point-to-multipoint bridge mode. AP2 requires a security profile for AP1 and another

one for AP3:
