N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v4
• Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers
to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you need to know the MAC address of
the remote parent access point.
For you to set up a wireless network in a WDS, the following conditions need to be met for
both access points:
• Both access points need to use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.
• Both access points need to be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the access point
LAN IP addresses are in the same network.
• All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) need to be configured to operate in the
same LAN network address range as the access points.
• The channel selection on the access points cannot be Auto (see Basic Wireless Settings
on page 27).
• The security option needs to be WEP (or no security). The WEP option displays only if
you select Up to 54 Mbps from the Mode menu on the Wireless Settings screen (see
Basic Wireless Settings on page 27).
Set Up the Base Station
The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be
daisy-chained. You need to know the wireless MAC addresses of all units. First, set up the
base station, and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:
1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function.
The Wireless Repeating Function screen displays. The wireless MAC address of the
router is displayed onscreen.
2. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box.
