Repeater

A repeater is an electronic device that receives a weak or low-level signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, so that the signal can cover longer distances without degradation.

The example figure illustrates the releationship among the repeaters and the clients. In this example, client A, B, and C can access AP-A, but client D and E cannot. In this case, AP-B extends the coverage erea of AP-A, thus allows client D and E to receive the signal smoothly.

The web page allows you to configure the wireless distribution system for the wireless network.

AP Mode:

Choose an AP mode that you would like to use.

Search Other Repeaters:

You can configure other routers as your repeater by setting up repeater feature mutually. Click the Scan Now button to search other repeater in the wireless network automatically. The result will be shown on the chart.

Note: To configure the repeater function among routers, they must use the same channel, SSID and WEP key, so that they may work as repeaters for each other.

If you select Manual for Search Other Repeaters, you will need to type the MAC address for wireless repeaters in the boxes of MAC Address of Remote Wireless Repeaters.

The right figure shows an example result of executing the function of auto-searching repeaters.

You may select the routers (which use the same channel as yours) from the table and configure the same SSID and WEP key with the one you chose, so that the routers can function as repeaters for each other to extend the coverage area.

When you finish the settings, please click Apply to invoke them.
