Advanced Configuration
v1.0, February 2009
To configure a LAN segment using the wireless access point in repeater mode:
1.
Configure repeater mode from the Bridging and Repeating screen of the wireless access point
(AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in
Figure 5-9 on page 5-13
):
a.
Select the
Enable Wireless Bridging and Repeating
check box.
b.
Select the
Repeater
radio button.
c.
Click
Edit
to open the Edit Security Profile screen and enter the MAC address of the
“downstream” wireless access point (AP2 in
Figure 5-9 on page 5-13
) in the Remote
MAC Address field.
d.
WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK are supported. NETGEAR recommends that you use
WPA2-PSK to protect this communication.
e.
Click
Apply
to save your settings.
2.
Configure AP2 in repeater mode with the MAC address of the “upstream” wireless access
point (AP1).
3.
Verify the following for all wireless access points:
•
The LAN network configuration of the wireless access points are configured to operate in
the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.
•
All APs must be on the same LAN. That is, the LAN IP addresses of all APs must be in
the same network.
•
If using DHCP, all wireless access points should be set to obtain an IP address
automatically (as a DHCP client). For more information, see
“Configure Basic IP
Settings” on page 2-7
.
•
All wireless access points must use the same ESSID, channel, authentication mode, and
security settings.
4.
Verify connectivity across the LAN.
Note:
In
Figure 5-9 on page 5-13
, AP2 has the same relation to AP3 in LAN
Segment 3 as AP1 in LAN Segment 1 has to AP2. Configure AP2 and AP3
accordingly.
Note:
Wireless stations will not be able to connect to any wireless access point that
functions in repeater mode.
