If using DHCP, all WAG102 Access Points should be set to “Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings
menu.
All WAG102 Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and
encryption in use.
All Point-to-Point APs must have AP2’s MAC address in its Remote AP MAC address
field.
3. 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 PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments.
Wireless stations will not be able to connect to the WAG102 Access Points in the
illustration above. If you require wireless stations to access any lan segment, you can
additional WAG102 Access Points configured in Wireless Access Point mode to any LAN
segment.
