for any other security profile that you want to edit.
For example, first configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-1 with the MAC address
of AP2, and then configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-2 with the MAC address
of AP3 (see
Figure

2.
Activate the wireless access point (AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in
Figure

on page
93) as
a point-to-multipoint bridge (that is, as the master in the wireless network):

Configure AP2 on LAN Segment 2 (see
Figure
19
on page

with the remote MAC address of AP1.
4.
Configure AP3 on LAN Segment 3 (see
Figure
19
on page
93) 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 a DHCP client).
For more information, see
Configure the IP Settings
on page
21.
•
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.
