Chapter 1 Overview
Network Examples with Autonomous Access Points
Repeater Unit that Extends Wireless Range
An autonomous access point can be configured as a stand-alone repeater to extend the range of your
infrastructure or to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication. The repeater forwards traffic
between wireless users and the wired LAN by sending packets to either another repeater or to an access
point connected to the wired LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides the best performance
for the client. Figure 1-3 shows an autonomous access point acting as a repeater. Consult the Ci
sco IOS
Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for
instructions on setting up an access
point as a repeater.
Note Non-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with repeater access points.
