Wireless Distribution System

You can set up the router to be used as a wireless base station or wireless repeater in a wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to link them. A wireless base station connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the wireless base station.

The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.

Figure 6. Wireless repeating scenario

The router can function either as a base station or as a repeater:

Wireless 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 must know the MAC address 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 must know the MAC address of the remote parent access point.
