Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)

You can set the WNDRMAC router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this

enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another

wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.

Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distributio

n System (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless

network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to

link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.
