Repeater Mode
6.1 Overview
In repeater mode, your WAP6804 can act as an access point and wireless client at the same time. The
WAP6804 can connect to an existing network through another access point and also lets wireless clients
connect to the network through it. This helps you expand wireless coverage when you have an access
point or wireless router already in your network.
In the example below, the WAP6804 (
A
) is configured as a repeater. It has three clients that want to
connect to the Internet. The WAP6804 wirelessly connects to the available access point (
B
).
