Step 13 Also on the Express Setup page, enter the same settings in the Default IP Subnet
Mask and Default Gateway fields that are on the root access point.
Step 14 On the Boot Server Setup page, select none for the Configuration Server Protocol.
This setting will maintain a fixed IP address for the repeater access point.
If the root access point configuration has not been changed from the factory
defaults, skip to Step 18.
Step 15 On the AP Radio Hardware page, enter the same settings for Data Rates that are
on the root access point.
Step 16 On the AP Radio Data Encryption page, enter the same WEP key settings that are
on the root access point.
Step 17 Also on the AP Radio Data Encryption page, select the same Authentication
Types that are on the root access point.
Step 18 On the AP Radio Advanced page, enter the root access point’s MAC address in
the Specified access point 1 entry field.
Step 19 On the Express Setup page, select Repeater Access Point as the Role in Radio
Network. The access point reboots when you apply this setting.
Step 20 The status LED on the root access point should be steady green, indicating that at
least one client device is associated with it. The status LED on the repeater access
point is steady green when it is associated with the root access point and has client
devices associated with it. The repeater’s status LED is steady for 7/8 of a second
and off for 1/8 of a second when it is associated with the root access point but has
no client devices associated with it. The repeater access point should also appear
as associated with the root access point in the root access point’s Association
Table.
