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.
