3.1.2 Repeater Mode 

 

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

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 SMC WTK-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 SMC WTK-G Repeater.   

 

    • 

Enter the MAC address of the SMC WTK-G (Repeater mode) in the Repeater MAC adddress     

 

  

     field in the Parent AP or wireless router.
