a NAT router for the wireless clients who receive their network information from the access point. All network traffics from the wireless client designated to the wired network are NAT-ed to the access point's LAN IP address. As a result, the DHCP network (wireless network) configured in the WG302v2 - Netgear WG302v1 | Application Notes - Using the DHCP Server feature - Page 2

DHCP: Use and Configuration
The WG302v2/WAG302v2 can act as a DHCP server for wireless client. The
WG302v2/WAG302v2 provides the pre-configured TCP/IP configuration for wireless clients
connected to the access point.
The WG302v2/WAG302v2 DHCP server only assigns network information to clients that connect
to the access point through security profiles that are on the same VLAN as security profile 1.
VLAN 1 is the default VLAN for all security profiles.
Enabling the DHCP server on the WG302v2/WAG302v2 causes Network Address
Translation (NAT) to be enabled on the access point
- The WG302v2/WAG302v2 in this case
acts similar to a NAT router for the wireless clients who receive their network information from the
access point. All network traffics from the wireless client designated to the wired network are
NAT-
ed to the access point’s LAN IP address.
As a result, the DHCP network (wireless network) configured in the WG302v2/WAG302v2 DHCP
settings must be in a different subnet than the wired network.
