ZyXEL Communications Corporation WRE6606 Manuel D’Utilisation

WRE6606 User’s Guide

In repeater mode, your WRE6606 can act as an access point and wireless client at the same time. 
The WRE6606 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 WRE6606 (A) is configured as a repeater. It has three clients that want 
to connect to the Internet. The WRE6606 wirelessly connects to the available access point (B).

After the WRE6606 and the access point connect, the WRE6606 acquires its IP address from the 
access point. The clients of the WRE6606 can now surf the Internet.
