Customizing Your Network Settings

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.
