Figure 10. Wireless repeating scenario
The router can function either as a base station or as a repeater:
• W
ireless base station. The 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 need to know the MAC addresses of the child
repeater access point.
• W
ireless 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).
