Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.

Repeater access point

Base station access point

The scenario includes these components:

•Wireless Base Station. The router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must 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 must know the MAC address of the remote parent access point.

The JNR1010 router is always in dual band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. 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, both access points must meet the following conditions:

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

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