6. Configuring for Universal Wireless Repeater

Note :

1.This section will walk you through the steps of sharing (bridging) an internet connection in one building, and extending that same internet to another building with repeat Access Point.

2.A repeater is just a very normal client which, at the same time, can also be an access point, independent of the SSID and type of encryption used.

3.The “Main Base Station” provides Access Point with SSID “Main_AP”, and the “Client Station” provide repeat Access Point with SSID “Repeater_Main_AP”.

4.The Wireless clients and “Main Base Station” need the same subnet.

5.The examples below are for Universal Wireless Repeater.

1.Follows steps in Section 5 Configuring for Client Bridge.

2.Select Enable to active Repeater AP on

step 7. Enter the desired ESSID and click Next button.

Note :

1.To protect your network from any unauthorized access it is recommended to enable wireless encryption.

2.The examples below are for WEP. If you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, make sure your wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. If your wireless adapters do not support WPA or WPA2, then select WEP.
