WAG102 as "A" bridge and "G" AP?
Hi, I'm having some trouble setting up two bridges and any suggestions or help would be appreciated. What I'd like to do is use two WAG102's as both AP and bridge. One unit is wired to my router ...
OK, I've now got this working fine even though Netgear Support hasn't responded,yet. The missing step was checking all available channels. As a last step before returning both units, I began trying all of the "A" channels by starting at the bottom and working up.
When I got to channel 44 I noticed the activity log on the unit acting as both "G" AP and one side of the "A" bridge showed that it had connected to the other unit. This is despite the fact that the page that should show "available wireless stations" shows nothing.
Anyway, I now have it working with one unit running in "A" mode only ("G" radio turned off) as the bridge between two segments on my LAN. The other unit is working fine as my "G" AP and my laptops connect just fine.
Cheers :D
