NETGEAR WG102NA Network Hardware User Manual


 
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 Reference Manual
4-8 Advanced Configuration
v1.0, July 2008
The LAN network configuration of the WG102 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, all the APs LAN IP address must be in the
same network.
If using DHCP, all WG102 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 WG102 Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and
encryption in use.
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 WLAN segments.
Note: You can extend this repeating by adding up to two more WG102 Access Points
configured in repeater mode. However, since repeaters communicate in half-duplex
mode, the bandwidth decreases as you add repeaters to the network. Also, you can
extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna
accessories.
