N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL Modem Router DGND4000

Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)

You can set the N750 Modem Router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing

this setup enables the wireless modem router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless

repeater connects to another wireless wireless 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 wirele

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.

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.
