NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
Advanced Configuration 4-9
v1.0, May 2006
Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the WG302v2 communicates with another bridge-mode wireless
station. In addition, you can enable client associations with this WG302v2. You must enter the
MAC address of the other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. Use wireless security
to protect this communication. The figure below shows an example of Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
The following steps describe how to set up the Point-to-Point Bridge configuration in Figure 4-5.
1. Configure the WG302v2 (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
AP 1 must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field, and AP 2 must have
AP 1’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.
3. Configure and verify the following for both access points:
• Verify the LAN network configuration of the access points. Both APs must be configured
to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.
• Both APs must use the same SSID, 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.
