Wireless Repeating Function

You can set up the router to be used as a wireless base station or wireless repeater in a

wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through

multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to link them. A wireless base station

connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to

an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A 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.

Figure 8. Wireless repeating scenario

The router can function either as a base station or as a repeater:

• 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.
