To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC addresses of the child repeater access point.

Wireless Repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the remote parent access point.

The WNDR4500 router is always in dual band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. Be aware that if you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base station, dual band concurrent mode is not affected.

For you to set up a wireless network with WDS, the following conditions have to be met for both access points:

•Both access points have to use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.

•Both access points have 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) have to be configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the access points.
