11. To set up a point-to-multipoint WiFi network, repeat Step 4 through Step 10 for another
profile and another access point.
In point-to-multipoint WiFi network, your access point becomes the master for all WiFi
bridges. For each access point that you want the master to be able to connect to, you
must configure a security profile with a unique name and the MAC address of the access
point. You can configure up to four such security profiles (NETGEAR-WDS-1,
NETGEAR-WDS-2, and so on).
Note: You can extend the range of a WiFi bridge with NETGEAR WiFi
antenna accessories.
