ProSAFE Single Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point WN203 c. If the correct profile names and security options are displayed in the table, select the check boxes in the Enable column for all security profiles that you want to enable. d. On the Bridging screen, click the Apply button. The point-to-multipoint bridge settings are activated. 3. Configure AP2 on LAN Segment 2 (see Figure 17 on page 81) in point-to-point bridge mode with the remote MAC address of AP1. 4. Configure AP3 on LAN Segment 3 (see Figure 17 on page 81) in point-to-point bridge mode with the remote MAC address of AP1. 5. Verify the following: • Only AP1 on LAN Segment 1 is configured in point-to-multipoint bridge mode, and all others wireless access points are configured in point-to-point bridge mode. • AP2 and AP3 (the point-to-point APs) have AP1's MAC address in their Remote MAC Address field. • All APs are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices. • If you use DHCP, all APs can obtain an IP address automatically (as DHCP clients). For more information, see Configure the IP Settings on page 22. • All APs use the same channel, authentication mode, and security settings. 6. 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 computers or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments. Note: You can extend this multipoint bridging configuration by adding more wireless access points that are configured in point-to-point mode for each additional LAN segment. Configure the Wireless Access Point to Repeat the Wireless Signal Using Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Mode You can configure the wireless access point to repeat the wireless signal, without communication with other wireless clients. All traffic is sent to the remote or downstream wireless access point. You can configure up to four security profiles to enable the wireless access point to repeat the wireless signal for four remote wireless access points. Each security profile requires a unique name and needs to include the MAC address of the remote wireless access point. You can configure up to four such security profiles (NETGEAR-WDS-1, NETGEAR-WDS-2, and so on). The following figure shows an example in which AP1, AP2, and AP3 repeat the wireless signal in point-to-multipoint bridge mode. AP2 requires a security profile for AP1 and another one for AP3: Advanced Configuration 85

c.
If the correct profile names and security options are displayed in the table, select the
check boxes in the Enable column for all security profiles that you want to enable.
d.
On the Bridging screen, click the
Apply
button.
The point-to-multipoint bridge settings are activated.
3.
Configure AP2 on LAN Segment 2 (see
Figure
17
on page
81) in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of AP1.
4.
Configure AP3 on LAN Segment 3 (see
Figure
17
on page
81) in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of AP1.
5.
Verify the following:
•
Only AP1 on LAN Segment 1 is configured in point-to-multipoint bridge mode, and all
others wireless access points are configured in point-to-point bridge mode.
•
AP2 and AP3 (the point-to-point APs) have AP1’s MAC address in their Remote MAC
Address field.
•
All APs are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN
devices.
•
If you use DHCP, all APs can obtain an IP address automatically (as DHCP clients).
For more information, see
Configure the IP Settings
on page
22.
•
All APs use the same channel, authentication mode, and security settings.
6.
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 computers or servers connected to any of the three LAN
segments.
Note:
You can extend this multipoint bridging configuration by adding more
wireless access points that are configured in point-to-point mode for
each additional LAN segment.
Configure the Wireless Access Point to Repeat the Wireless
Signal Using Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Mode
You can configure the wireless access point to repeat the wireless signal, without
communication with other wireless clients. All traffic is sent to the remote or downstream
wireless access point. You can configure up to four security profiles to enable the wireless
access point to repeat the wireless signal for four remote wireless access points. Each
security profile requires a unique name and needs to include the MAC address of the remote
wireless access point. You can configure up to four such security profiles
(NETGEAR-WDS-1, NETGEAR-WDS-2, and so on).
The following figure shows an example in which AP1, AP2, and AP3 repeat the wireless
signal in point-to-
multi
point bridge mode. AP2 requires a security profile for AP1 and another
one for AP3:
