Netgear 10300137 Manuel D’Utilisation

Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode. 

The MBR1000 router must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field, 
and AP 2 must have the MBR1000’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field. 

Configure and verify the following for both access points:

Both access points must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and 
security settings if security is in use.

Disable the DHCP server on AP2. AP1 will then be the DHCP server.

Verify connectivity across LAN segment 1 and LAN segment 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.

Multi-Point Bridge Configuration

Multi-Point Bridge mode allows a router to bridge to multiple peer access points 
simultaneously. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabled—only wired clients can 
be connected. The figure below shows an example of a Multi-Point Bridge mode 
configuration.

Multi-Point Bridge mode configuration includes the following steps:

Entering the MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields provided. 

Setting the other bridge-mode access points to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using the 

MAC address of this MBR1000 router as the Remote MAC Address. 

Using wireless security to protect this traffic.
