Add the Remote MAC Address of AP1 on LAN Segment 2. (see Figure 5-2) • Because it is in the central location, configure AP1 on LAN Segment 2 in Multi-Point Bridging mode. Add the MAC addresses of the adjacent Point-to-Point APs (AP2 and AP3). • Configure AP3 on LAN 3 in Point to Multi-Point Bridge mode. Add the Remote MAC Address of AP1 on LAN Segment 2. 2. Verify the following parameters for all three wireless access points: • That the LAN network configuration of each of the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Points is configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the other LAN devices (routers, hubs and switches). • That only one profile of AP1 is configured in Multi-Point Bridging mode. • That all APs are on the same LAN. That is, all the wireless access point LAN IP addresses are in the same network. 5-4 Advanced Wireless Bridging v1.0, September 2008
