WG602 Access Points in repeater mode

Hypermediocrity · 27th November 2006

Hi there,

I'm trying to get wireless across a large building. They currently use a Linksys broadband router, so what I propose to do is to hang a Netgear WG602 access point off it. Then I would like to configure some consecutive WG602 access points to act as repeaters. My question is: how many repeaters can I associate with a single access point?

From reading the manual for the Netgear it seems you have to put the MAC address of the 'primary' access point into a section of the web admin. But.. do you have to put the MAC address of the repeater in the primary access point? I'm hoping you don't - because from the screenshots there appears to only be one input field

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Nik
