Advanced Wireless Bridging

The following figure illustrates a multi-point bridge setup over three LAN segments. 

To configure wireless access points in a multi-point configuration:

1. Set the Operating Mode of the three NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Points as follows (see 

•

Configure AP2 on LAN Segment 1 in Point to Multi-Point Bridge Mode. Add the Remote 
MAC Address of AP1 on LAN Segment 2. (see 

•

Because it is in the central location, configure AP1 on LAN Segment 2 in Multi-Point 
Bridging mode. Add the MAC addresses of the adjacent Point-to-Point APs (AP2 and 
AP3).

•

Configure AP3 on LAN 3 in Point to Multi-Point Bridge mode. Add the Remote MAC 
Address of AP1 on LAN Segment 2.

2. Verify the following parameters for all three wireless access points:

•

That the LAN network configuration of each of the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Points 
is configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the other LAN devices 
(routers, hubs and switches).

•

That only one profile of AP1 is configured in Multi-Point Bridging mode.

•

That all APs are on the same LAN. That is, all the wireless access point LAN IP addresses 
are in the same network.
