NETGEAR Support How do I configure my NETGEAR WBC502 AirBridge satellite unit as an access point?
Hi there, I purchased a pair of WBC502 to bring Wifi to the far end of my land. Netgear support is lacking responsiveness, hence I am asking for help here; My use case: I am using a Maste...
Hello Jorge,
The marked use case includes using an additional wireless access point physically connected to the NETGEAR WBC502 AirBridge satellite. Alternate use case is connecting a switch to establish a wired network at the satellite location.
The two use cases shown are correct and comprehensive.
The AirBridge satellite does not offer concurrent access point features beyond of some short range management.
Thank you Schumaku,
Yes, I have an ASUS WIFI Router (as the access point to the additional devices) physically connected to the satellite unit. - Cat5 connected to Power Adapter LAN port. Please confirm this is what you mean.
Still, when the devices connect to the ASUS Router, there is no internet access.
Test i have performed:
1. Another router shows the same behavior,
2. connected a laptop to the Power adapter LAN port, no internet access.
Thank you again for any additional thoughts.
Jorge
