Wireless Repeating Function 
You can view or change wireless repeater settings for the router. From the main menu of the 
browser interface, under Advanced, click 
Wireless Repeating Function to display the 
Wireless Repeating Function screen.
The router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to control 
wireless client association:
•     
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. 
•     
Wireless Base Station. The router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and 
from the child repeater access point, as well as handling wireless and wired local 
computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child 
repeater access point.
•     
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. 
Set Up the Base Station 
The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be 
daisy chained. You must know the wireless settings for both units. You must know the MAC 
address of the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater. 
To set up the base station:
1. 
Set up both units with exactly the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and 
security). Note that the wireless security option must be set to 
None or WEP.
