D6300 WiFi DSL Modem Router
Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)
You can set the WiFi DSL Modem Router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP).
Doing this setup enables the WiFi DSL modem router to act as a wireless repeater. A
wireless repeater connects to another wireless WiFi DSL modem router as a client where the
network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.
Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless
network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to
link them.
The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.

The WiFi DSL modem router acts as the parent access point,
bridging traffic to and from the child repeater access point, as well as handling wireless and
wired local computers. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the
child repeater access point.
