Installing the AP+2 as a
Repeater
The AP+2 can be used as a repeater to extend the range of
your wireless network. For example, you may have purchased
two AP+2 devices so that you can ensure wireless coverage
throughout a large home or office. This chapter explains how
to do this.
When installed as a repeater, the AP+2 is able to wirelessly
communicate with other access points and wireless gateways via
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) links.
Important!
Any access point you plan to use with the AP+2 in repeater mode
must support WDS in order to communicate with the AP+2.
