ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP620 
Note:
You can extend this multipoint bridging configuration by adding 
additional wireless access points that are configured in point-to-point 
mode for each additional LAN segment. Furthermore, you can 
extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless 
antenna accessories.
Configure the Wireless Access Point to Repeat the Wireless 
Signal Using Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Mode
You can configure the wireless access point to repeat the wireless signal, without 
communication with other wireless clients. All traffic is sent to the remote or downstream 
wireless access point. You can configure up to four security profiles to enable the wireless 
access point to repeat the wireless signal for four remote wireless access points. Each 
security profile requires a unique name and needs to include the MAC address of the remote 
wireless access point. You can configure up to four such security profiles 
(NETGEAR-WDS-1, NETGEAR-WDS-2, and so on).
The following figure shows an example in which AP1, AP2, and AP3 repeat the wireless 
signal in point-to-multipoint bridge mode. AP2 requires a security profile for AP1 and another 
one for AP3:
