CONFIGURATION – Secondary “REPEATER” units:
Once this access point has its basic configuration set and you’ve confirmed it to be working properly, go to the ‘Access Point Settings’ section and enable wireless bridging and repeating, select ‘Repeater with Wireless Client Association’.
In the ‘Parent AP MAC Address’ field insert the MAC address of the MASTER unit. If you plan to add another unit that it’d receive signal from this one, insert the MAC address of it under the ‘Child AP MAC Address’ field, otherwise just leave it empty.
This way, you’re making a logically arranged chain of devices. The first device being parent to the second, the second being parent to the third, and so on.
TESTING – Verifying the connection:
To verify this connection, try connecting wirelessly to the main unit and using the ‘ping’ DOS command to the IP address of the other access points. If the replies are successful, you’ll know the configuration was correct.
