3.1.2 Repeater Mode

 

Repeater mode extends the range of a wireless network. Repeater nodes

 

re-transmit the signal of an AP or wireless router to effectively extend the range of

 

that AP or wireless router. Wireless clients can associate with the repeater.

 

Figure2 shows the network with one repeater, and the repeater allowing

 

wireless clients to associate.

 

To configure the SMCWTK-G as a Repeater, please ensure the following:

.

Enter the MAC address of the Parent AP or wireless router in the Remote AP MAC

.

address field in the SMCWTK-G Repeater.

Enter the MAC address of the SMCWTK-G (Repeater mode) in the Repeater MAC address field in the Parent AP or wireless router.
