N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4300

Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)

You can set the WNDR4300 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 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.

Wireless base station.

The router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and

from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and wired local

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

repeater access point.
