wireless repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet 
through the wireless base station. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.

To use the wireless repeating function, your router cannot have 
security enabled and cannot use the auto channel feature.

You must set up a wireless base station and a wireless repeater:

Wireless base station. The router acts as the parent access point that bridges traffic to 
and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and 
wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the 
child repeater access point. Often, the MAC address is on the product label.

Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers 
to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the 
remote parent access point. 

The router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If you 
enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless 
repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base 
station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base 
station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.

Before you an set up a wireless network with WDS, both access points must meet the 
following conditions:

Use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.

Be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all of the access point LAN IP addresses are in 
the same network.

All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) are configured to operate in the same 

LAN network address range as the access points.
