If this check box is selected, the router communicates wirelessly only with other APs whose MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The router still communicates with wire-connected LAN devices.

Setting Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be daisy chained. You must know the wireless settings for both units. You must know the MAC address of the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.

To set up the base station:

1.Set up both units with exactly the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and security). Note that the wireless security option must be set to None or WEP.

2.From the main menu of the browser interface on the wireless router base unit, under Advanced, click Wireless Repeating Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen.
