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