N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v4

•Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you need to know the MAC address of the remote parent access point.

For you to set up a wireless network in a WDS, the following conditions need to be met for both access points:

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

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

•The channel selection on the access points cannot be Auto (see Basic Wireless Settings on page 27).

•The security option needs to be WEP (or no security). The WEP option displays only if you select Up to 54 Mbps from the Mode menu on the Wireless Settings screen (see Basic Wireless Settings on page 27).
