Appendix D

Using Multiple NETGEAR

routers.

It is possible to use multiple

NETGEAR routers together in

a single installation. In most

installations, a single NETGEAR

router is sufcient for handling

the communications between

a number of M-VCIs and PCs.

However, there are situations,

such as a large repair facility,

where the use of multiple

NETGEAR routers will improve

wireless network performance.

One recommended conguration

for deploying multiple NETGEAR

routers is to congure a single

NETGEAR router as Type III, and

the remaining NETGEAR routers

as Type I. Another recommended

conguration is to congure all

NETGEAR routers as Type I to be

used with an existing wireless

router. Each NETGEAR router

is congured separately as

described in the main body of this

document. In either recommended

conguration, the routers are

connected together via LAN ports

(using Ethernet cables). The

routers may be “daisy-chained”,

or connected “hub-and-spoke”.

In this way, a single DHCP server

is used for the entire wireless

network.

Other congurations using

multiple NETGEAR routers are

possible, but these may require

additional conguration of the

individual NETGEAR routers.

Please consult Appendix C and the

NETGEAR router documentation.

Most PC wireless interface

software supports the

conguration of multiple access

points. The PC can be moved from

access point to access point by

selecting the appropriate access

point prior to connection to the

M-VCI. Please consult the wireless

software documentation that

comes with your PC.

When all of the NETGEAR access

points in the wireless network

have the same SSID, the M-VCI

will typically communicate with

the rst NETGEAR access point it

encounters. Thus, the M-VCI can

be moved around in the repair

facility, but there is no guarantee

that it will always communicate

with the same access point. This

may result in some access points

handling more wireless trafc

than others. To force a particular

M-VCI to always communicate

with a particular access point,

the SSID for the access point

must be altered. This is done

through the NETGEAR router

conguration utility (see Appendix

C and NETGEAR documentation).

After altering the SSID of an

access point, you must change

the wireless SSID in the M-VCI to

match the access point (see Step

4 – Setting the Wireless SSID),

and in any PC using the access

point.
