NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500 User Manual
Customizing Your Network Settings 4-13
v1.0, March 2008
The wireless router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to
control wireless client association:
Wireless Base Station mode. The wireless 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.
Wireless Repeater mode. The wireless 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.
Disable Wireless Client Association. Usually this check box is cleared so that the router is an
access point for wireless computers.
If this check box is selected, the router communicates wirelessly only with other APs whose
MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The 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.
