Set Up the Base Station
The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be
daisy-chained. You must know the wireless MAC addresses of all units. First, set up the base
station and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function
.
The Wireless Repeating Function screen displays. The wireless MAC address of the
router displays onscreen.
2.
Select the
Enable Wireless Repeating Function
check box.
3.
Select the
Wireless Base Station
radio button.
4.
To prevent wireless clients from associating with the base station and allow LAN client
associations only, select the
Disable Wireless Client Association
check box.
You can leave the check box cleared if you prefer wireless clients to be able to associate
with the base stations.
5.
In the Repeater MAC Address 1 through 4 fields, enter the MAC addresses for the access
points that should function as repeaters.
