N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v4

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).

Set Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be daisy-chained. You need to know the wireless MAC addresses of all units. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.

To set up the base station:

1.Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function.

The Wireless Repeating Function screen displays. The wireless MAC address of the router is displayed onscreen.

2.Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box.

3.Select the Wireless Base Station radio button.

4.(Optional) Select the Disable Wireless Client Association check box to prevent wireless clients from associating with the base station and allowing LAN client associations only. You can leave the check box cleared if you prefer wireless clients to be able to associate with the base stations.

5.In the Repeater MAC Address 1 through 4 fields, enter the MAC addresses for the access points that should function as repeaters.

If your router is the base station, it can function as the “parent” for up to 4 other access points.
