Figure 13. Wireless repeating scenario
Note: For you to use the wireless repeating function, security for your router
cannot be enabled and the router cannot use the auto channel feature.
You must set up a wireless base station and a wireless repeater:
• W
ireless base station. The router acts as the parent access point that bridges traffic to
and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and
wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the
child repeater access point. Often, the MAC address is on the product label.
• W
ireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers
to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the
remote parent access point.
The router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If you
enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless
repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However
, if you enable the wireless base
station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base
station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.
Before you can set up a wireless network with WDS, both access points must meet the
following conditions:
• Use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.
• Be on the same LAN IP subnet.
That is, all of the access point LAN IP addresses are in
the same network.
• All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) are configured to operate in the same
LAN network address range as the access points.
