Under Wireless Radio web-site interface, Station VAP can be enabled. By clicking Enable icon,

backhaul link can be established through associating the Station VAP with the remote APs. That

means the Wireless Radio works as backhaul link, clients can associate with other VAPs who

works under AP mode. The local wireless clients associating with the other AP mode Radios can

communicate with remote AP through the backhaul link which is established by repeater mode

radio.

Edit the remote SSID index by clicking the Edit icon, and make sure the security setting is same

with the repeater mode input SSID security method.

Figure 24 Repeater Mode Configuration

There are three different repeater modes: NAT mode, WDS mode and MAC address

translation mode (MAT mode).

When repeater works in NAT mode, A3 works in Gateway mode and the Station mode VAP is

enabled. Repeater works in WDS mode when WDS is enabled and A3 works in Station mode.

WDS mode requires the remote AP enabled WDS function. The MAT mode can be enabled

when A3 runs in Switch mode and WDS is enabled.
