Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 • If using DHCP, all WG102 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. • All WG102 Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and encryption in use. • All Point-to-Point APs must have AP2's MAC address in its Remote AP MAC address field. 3. Verify connectivity across the LANs. • A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments. • Wireless stations will not be able to connect to the WG102 Access Points in the illustration above. If you require wireless stations to access any lan segment, you can additional WG102 Access Points configured in Wireless Access Point mode to any LAN segment. Note: You can extend this multi-point bridging by adding additional WG102s 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.
