RangeMax Wireless-N DSL Gigabit Modem Router DGN3500 User Manual
Advanced Configuration 5-19
v1.0, November 2009
To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration (shown in Figure 5-10):
1. Configure the DGN3500 modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in point-to-point bridge
mode.
2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode.
The DGN3500 modem router must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address
field, and AP 2 must have the DGN3500’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.
3. Configure both APs and verify that both APs are using the same SSID, channel, authentication
mode, if any, and security settings if security is in use.
4. Disable the DHCP server on AP2. AP1 will then be the DHCP server.
5. 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.
Configuring a Repeater with Wireless Client Association
In the repeater mode with wireless client association, the DGN3500 modem router sends all traffic
to a remote AP. For the repeater mode, you must enter the MAC address of the remote “parent”
access point. Alternatively, you can configure the DGN3500 modem router as the parent by
entering the address of a “child” access point. Note that the following restrictions apply:
