Special Configurations
This chapter describes how to set up the access point in network roles other than as a root unit on a wired
LAN. You can set up an access point as a repeater to extend the range of a wireless network, and you can
use Hot Standby mode to use an access point as a backup unit in areas where you need extra reliability.
Both configurations require two access points that support and rely upon each other.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Setting Up a Repeater Access Point, page 12-2
• Using Hot Standby Mode, page 12-5
