coverage. When enable Universal Repeater Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router acts as a
Wireless Access Point and Wireless Client at the same time. It uses Wireless Client function to
connect to a Root AP (any AP) and uses AP function to service all wireless stations within its
coverage. All the stations within the coverage of the Wireless Broadband Router can be bridged to
the Root AP. This Mode is a very convenient way to extend the coverage of your wireless network.
