NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 Reference Manual
Advanced Configuration 4-3
v1.0, July 2008
• DTIM Interval. The Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) specifies the data beacon
rate between 1 and 255. The default is 1.
• Preamble Type. A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly
longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. Auto automatically handles
both long and short preambles. The default is Auto.
Wireless Bridging and Repeating
The WG102 Access Point lets you build large bridged wireless networks. Examples of wireless
bridged configurations are:
• Point-to-Point Bridge. The WG102 Access Point communicates with another bridge-mode
wireless station. See
“Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration” on page 4-4.
• Multi-Point Bridge. The WG102 Access Point is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode
wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this “master,” rather than to other access points. See
“Multi-Point Bridge Configuration” on page 4-5.
• Repeater with Wireless Client Association. Sends all traffic to the remote AP. See “Repeater
with Wireless Client Association” on page 4-7.
These configurations can be set up from the Advanced Access Point Settings screen, shown below.
