To set up the repeater configuration shown in Figure 4-2:

1.Configure the operating mode of AP1 (the WiFi range extender in Figure 4-2) as a wireless base station with the MAC addresses of AP2 and AP3 in the first two Repeater MAC Address fields.

2.Configure the operating mode of AP2 and AP3 as wireless repeater with the MAC address of AP1, the WiFi range extender, in the Base Station MAC Address field.

3.Configure AP2 and AP3 to have a static IP address in their Repeater IP Address fields.

4.Verify connectivity across the LANs.

A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the WiFi range extender should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired PC or server connected to any of the other APs.

In the scenario shown, a WiFi range extender can also be used as one of the “child” APs. Configure the WiFi range extender’s Wireless Repeating Function settings as described for AP2 or AP3.

Note: If a WiFi range extender is used as a wireless repeater AP as shown in Figure 4-2 on page 4-3, you might need to change other configuration settings. In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function on the wireless repeater APs.
