4.11.4 Repeater Mode
Under VAP web-site interface, AP mode and Station mode can be chosen. While one of the
VAPs operates on station mode, other VAPs can work under AP mode only. By clicking Station,
backhaul link can be established through associating the Station VAP with the remote APs. That
means Station VAP works as backhaul link, clients can associate with other VAPs who work
under AP mode. The local wireless clients associating with the other AP mode VAPs can
communicate with remote AP through the backhaul link which is established by Station VAP.
The Security configuration should match to the remote SSID security type and pass phase.
There are three different repeater modes: NAT mode, WDS mode and MAC address
translation mode (MAT mode).
When repeater works in NAT mode, C1 works in Gateway mode and the Station mode VAP is
enabled. Repeater works in WDS mode when WDS is enabled and C1 works in Station mode.
The MAT mode can be enabled when C1 runs in Switch mode and WDS is disabled.
