1.
Configure the WG302 (AP1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
2. Configure the WG302 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
AP1 must have AP2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field and AP2 must have
AP1’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.
3. Configure and verify the following parameters for both access points:
• Verify that the LAN network configuration of the WG302 Access Points both are
configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
• Both use the same ESSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and security settings if
security is in use.
4. Verify connectivity across the LAN 1 and LAN 2.
• A computer on either LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files
and printers of any other PCs or servers connected to LAN Segment 1 or LAN Segment 2.
