You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. WEP should be used to protect this communication. - Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this WG302 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 WG302's MAC address. They then send all traffic to this "Master", rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP should be used to protect this traffic. 2-2 Introduction July 2005 v3.0

Key Features
The NETGEAR WG302 provides solid functionality, including these features:
•
AutoCell RF Management.
AutoCell provides advanced automated RF management that
improves performance and enhances security.
•
Multiple Operating Modes
–
Wireless Access Point.
Operates as a standard 802.11g.
–
Point-to-Point Bridge.
In this mode, the WG302 only communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the
other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. WEP should be used to protect
this communication.
–
Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge.
Select this only if this WG302 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 WG302's MAC address. They then send all traffic
to this “Master”, rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP should be used to
protect this traffic.
