Wireless Repeating Function

You can view or change wireless repeater settings for the wireless router. From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click Wireless Repeating Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen.

Figure 5-11

The wireless router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to control wireless client association:

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

•Wireless Base Station. The wireless router acts as the parent AP, bridging traffic to and from the child repeater AP, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child repeater AP.

•Disable Wireless Client Association. Usually this check box is cleared so that the router is an access point for wireless computers.

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.
