WAC104 Wireless Access Point
Hi Netgear Community,
My plan is to use the WAC104 as a bi-directional bridge between a Netgear PoE+ Switch (GS305Pv2) and a WiFi Network that has DHCP. The Netgear PoE+ switch has a POE security camera connected to it and powers the camera. A CAT 6 cable connects the switch to the WAC104 Access point. The WAC104 acts as a DHCP client and connects to my WiFi network.Traffic between the security camera and the WiFi network needs to be bi-directional. Will the WAC104 work?
Thanks,
Michael

Re: WAC104 Wireless Access Point
Welcome to the community! 🙂
As I understand your initial post, the security cameras (which are directly connected to the GS305Pv2) and the WAC104 are going to be on the same subnet. Am I right? If yes, then the WAC104 will work on network setup you are trying to implement.

Re: WAC104 Wireless Access Point
Does the primary WiFi router support WDS bridging as a Wireless Base Station? Most WiFi routers or APs simply don't.
The WAC104 certainly does support a WDS wireless bridge mode as a Wireless Base Station, and for one or more Wireless Repeaters in a single hub and one or multiple spokes system.
The WAC104 however is not a universal wireless extender allowing to connect to generic wireless access point devices or WiFi routers.
