NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 Reference Manual
Advanced Wireless Bridging 5-5
v1.0, September 2008
• That all wireless access points are using the same SSID, Channel, WEP authentication
mode, if any, and encryption (WPA is not available in bridge mode).
• That each Point-to-Point AP has the Multi-Point AP MAC address in its Remote AP MAC
address table.
• That the Multi Point-to-Point AP has the MAC addresses of each Point-to-Point AP.
• If Access Control has been enabled on the APs, verify that the Available Wireless Stations
list (MAC Address List, Figure 3-9) for each AP is complete and accurate.
3. Verify connectivity across the LANs:
• That wireless clients are able to use the AP.
• 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.
• If Access Control Lists are enabled on the APs, only computers in the access control list
will be able to use the AP.
Configuring Repeater without Wireless Client Association
In this mode, the WN802T v2 will operate as a Repeater only, and send all traffic to the remote
wireless access point. You must enter the MAC (physical) address of the remote wireless access
point.
Note: You can extend multi-point bridging by adding a total of six WN802T v2 APs
configured in bridge mode to connect additional wireless LAN segments.
