Wireless Repeating Function
You can view or change wireless repeater settings for the WiFi router. From the main menu of the
browser interface, under Advanced, click
Wireless Repeating Function to display the Wireless
Repeating Function screen.
The WiFi router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to control
wireless client association:
• Wireless Repeater . The WiFi router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired
computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the
remote parent AP.
• Wireless Base Station . The WiFi router acts as the parent AP, bridging traffic to and from the
child repeater AP, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers. To configure this
mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child repeater AP.
• Disable Wireless Client Association . Usually this check box is cleared so that the router is an
access point for wireless computers.
If this check box is selected, the router communicates wirelessly only with other APs whose
MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The router still communicates with wire-connected
LAN devices.
