ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 Note: You can extend this multipoint bridging configuration by adding additional wireless access points that are 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. 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: Router Multipoint bridge mode repeating only Multipoint bridge mode repeating only Multipoint bridge mode repeating only Hub or switch Figure 59.

Note:
You can extend this multipoint bridging configuration by adding
additional wireless access points that are 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.
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:
