STEP 5
On the RV180W, enter the Router A’s MAC address of the wireless network
(access point). For example, if Router A is a Cisco RV220W, you would find the
MAC address of its wireless network under Status > System Summary, in the
Available Access Points table. To enter Router A’s MAC address into the RV180W:
a. Choose Wireless > WDS.
b. In the WDS Peer Table, click Add and enter the MAC address of the host router
(Router A)’s wireless network.
c. Click Save. For more information, see the “Configuring a Wireless Distribution
System (WDS)” section on page 73 .
STEP 6
On Router A, enter the MAC address of the wireless network on the RV180W. Enter
only the MAC address of SSID 1 on router A because only SSID 1 supports WDS.
(To view the available RV180W access points and their MAC addresses, go to
Status > System Summary and look at the Available Access Point Table.)
STEP 7
Disconnect the Ethernet connection between Router A and the RV180W. After the
WDS connection is established, you should be able to ping the RV180W from the
PC that is connected to Router A.
The following situations may apply, depending on the host router and RV180W
configuration:
• You may need to reboot the RV180W after configuring WDS and
disconnecting it from the host router.
• If both routers are powered off, you may need to wait a few seconds after
turning on the host router to turn on the RV180w.
WDS Repeater
The Cisco RV180W connects using wireless to another wireless network and
repeats the wireless signal to clients behind the Cisco RV180W. You must
configure the MAC address of the AP or peers in order to allow them to associate
to the RV180W. See the
“Configuring a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)”
section on page 73 .
