NETGEAR MBR624GU - Manual (Page 92)

3G Broadband Wireless Router MBR624GU User Manual
5-16 Advanced Configuration
v1.0, January 2009
• Configure the access point (AP3) on LAN Segment 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with
the remote MAC address of the MBR624GU router.
2. Disable the DHCP server on AP2 and AP3. AP1 will then be the DHCP server.
3. Verify the following for all access points:
• The LAN network configuration of the router and other access points are configured to
operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.
• Only one AP, the MBR624GU router in Figure 5-9 , is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point
Bridge mode; all the others are in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
• All APs, including the MBR624GU router, must be on the same LAN. That is, all the AP
LAN IP addresses must be in the same network.
• All APs, including the MBR624GU router, must use the same SSID, channel,
authentication mode, if any, and encryption in use.
• All point-to-point APs must have the MAC address of AP 1 (the MBR624GU router in the
above diagram) in the Remote AP MAC address field.
4. 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 LAN segments.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
In this mode, the Wireless Router sends all traffic to a remote AP. For Repeater mode, you must
enter the MAC address of the remote “parent” access point. Alternatively, you can configure the
Wireless Router as the parent by entering the address of a “child” access point. Note that the
following restrictions apply:
• You do not have the option of disabling client associations with this Wireless Router.
• You cannot configure a sequence of parent/child APs. You are limited to only one parent AP,
although if the MBR624GU router is the parent AP it can connect with up to four child APs.
Note: Wireless stations configured as they are in Figure 5-9 will not be able to connect to
the router or access points. If you require wireless stations to access any LAN
segment, you can use additional access points configured in Wireless Access Point
mode in any LAN segment.
