Configure a Repeater with Wireless Client Association
To activate the Repeater with Wireless Client Association, please do the following:
1.
Configure WDS mode for each Access Point:
Ø
Configure AP1 on LAN Segment A in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address
of AP2.
Ø
Configure AP2 on LAN Segment B in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address
of AP1 and AP3.
Ø
Configure AP3 on LAN Segment C in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address
of AP2.
2.
The device under the repeater mode also can be an AP mode. It means wireless clients
also can associate it.
Ø
Verify that all access points are configured in Repeater Bridge mode.
Ø
All the access points’ IP Address must be set in the same network.
Ø
Make sure that Mode, SSID, Channel and encryption settings are set the same for all
of your WDS-compliant Access Points.
3.
Then, wireless clients can communicate with other wireless clients that are located in
different LAN Segments.
4.
After you complete the settings, please click on “Apply” and then “Reboot” for changes to
take effect.
Note:
Under Repeater Bridge mode, you can extend this repeater bridge by adding additional
802.11g SMB Wireless Access Points for each additional LAN Segment.
