N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2 User Manual

Figure 67.

The N300 wireless modem router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and

allows you to control wireless client association:

• Wireless Repeater. The N300 wireless modem router sends all traffic from its local

wireless or wired computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you must know the

MAC address of the remote parent AP.

• Wireless Base Station. The N300 wireless modem router acts as the parent AP, bridging

traffic to and from the child repeater AP, as well as handling wireless and wired local

computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child

repeater AP.

• Disable Wireless Client Association. Usually this check box is cleared so that the N300

wireless modem router is an access point for wireless computers.

If this check box is selected, the N300 wireless modem router communicates wirelessly

only with other APs whose MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The N300 wireless

modem router still communicates with wire-connected LAN devices.

Setting 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.

2. Log in to the N300 wireless modem router base unit. Select Advanced > Wireless

Repeating Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen.
