• If you are using DHCP, all access points should be set to Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP Client) in the IP Address Source section of the Basic IP
Settings screen.
• All APs, including the DGND3700 wireless modem router, must use the same SSID,
channel, authentication mode, if any, and WEP security settings if security is in use.
• All point-to-point APs must have the MAC address of AP 1 (the DGND3700 wireless
modem router in the previous figure) 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.
Note: Wireless stations configured as they are in Figure 52 on page 132
will not be able to connect to the wireless modem 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.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
In the repeater mode with wireless client association, the DGND3700 wireless modem router
sends all traffic to a remote access point. For the repeater mode, you must enter the MAC
address of the remote “parent” access point. Alternatively, you can configure the DGND3700
wireless modem 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 DGND3700 wireless
modem router.
• You cannot configure a sequence of parent-child APs. You are limited to only one parent
access point, although if the DGND3700 wireless modem router is the parent access
point, it can connect with up to four child APs.
