Customizing Your Network Settings 4-11
v1.1, May 2008
In the scenario shown, the following conditions must be met for both APs:
• Both APs must use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode (see information
about WEP in “Configuring WEP Wireless Security” on page 2-7”).
• 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.
Wireless Repeating Function
You can view or change wireless repeater settings for the wireless router. From the main menu of
the browser interface, under Advanced, click Wireless Repeating Function to display the
Wireless Repeating Function screen.
The wireless router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to
control wireless client association:
• Wireless Base Station mode. The wireless router acts as the parent AP, bridging traffic to and
from the child repeater AP, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers. To
configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child repeater AP.
• Wireless Repeater mode. The wireless router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired
computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the
remote parent AP.
• Disable Wireless Client Association. Usually this check box is cleared so that the router is an
access point for wireless computers.
