Chapter 1      Overview

Network Configuration Examples

Repeater Unit that Extends Wireless Range

An access point can be configured as a stand-alone repeater to extend the range of your infrastructure or 
to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication. The repeater forwards traffic between 
wireless users and the wired LAN by sending packets to either another repeater or to an access point 
connected to the wired LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides the best performance for 
the client. 

Figure 1-4

 shows an access point acting as a repeater. Consult the Cisco IOS Software 

Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting up an access point as a 
repeater.

Note

Non-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with repeater access points.
