Wireless Repeating (Also Called WDS)
The Dual Band Wireless-N Modem Router can be used with a wireless access point (AP) to build
large bridged wireless networks. Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System
(WDS).
The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario:
To set up a wireless network using WDS, the following conditions must be met for both APs:
• Both APs must use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode (see “Manually
Configuring Your Wireless Settings” on page 2-5 or “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to
Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-12).
• Both APs must be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the AP LAN IP addresses are in the
same network.
• All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) must be configured to operate in the same
LAN network address range as the APs.
Warning: If you use the wireless repeating function, your options for wireless security
are limited to None or WEP. For more information about wireless security, see
Chapter 2, “Safeguarding Your Network.”
