the MAC address of AP 2 and AP 3 in the first two Remote MAC Address fields.
Configure AP 2 with the MAC address of AP 1 in the Remote MAC Address field.
Configure AP 3 with the MAC address of AP 1 in the Remote MAC Address field.
2. Verify the following for both access points:
The APs must be on the same LAN. That is, the LAN IP addresses for the APs must be in
the same subnet.
AP devices must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, and encryption.
3. Disable the DHCP servers on repeaters AP2 and AP3. AP1 will then be the DHCP server.
