D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router
Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)
You can set the WiFi DSL modem router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). This
setup enables the WiFi DSL modem router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater
connects to another wireless WiFi DSL modem router as a client where the network to which
it connects becomes the ISP service.
Wireless repeating is a type of wireless distribution 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.

Note: If you use the wireless repeating function, you need to select either
WEP or None as a security option in the Wireless Settings screen.
The WEP option displays only if you select the wireless mode Up to
54 Mbps in the Wireless Settings screen. For more information, see
Basic Wireless Settings on page 33.
Wireless base station.
The WiFi DSL modem 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 have to know the MAC address of the
child repeater access point.
