Verify that the LAN network configuration of the WG602 v2 Access Points are configured
to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
If using DHCP, all WG602 v2 Access Points should be set to “Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings
menu.
If MAC access control list security is enabled on the APs, verify that the MAC access
control lists on each AP are complete for the entire network and accurate.
2.
Configure AP1 in Repeater mode.
3.
Enter the MAC address of AP2 in the Remote MAC Address boxes of AP1. You can locate the
MAC address in the Information page of the WG602 v2.
4.
Deploy AP1 on LAN Segment 1.
