wireless network throughout office

[Kurt111780]

Help me understand how WDS works. Will what I want to do work with Netgear WAG302 or WG302?

What I want to do is connect 3 access points to my network at 3 different locations so wirless clients can roam freely between them.

I also need to have WPA-PSK enabled along with Access control list. Do I have to enter the mac addresses into each access point?

Also, Can I keep SSID broadcasting turned off?

It's only easy when you know how.

In answer to your questions:

I would suspect it will work with the Netgear kit you are recomending, but I would suggest you use three fo the same model of AP, otherwise you may run into difficulties.

Again, if you are using 3 of the same model of AP you will be able to backup the config on one, and apply it to the others, and therefore duplicate the Access list.

Yes you can keep SSID turned off.

One thing to be aware of, is that each access point, whilst on the same SSID/Network, should be on a different channel, and therefore not interfering with each other.
