3.1.2 Repeater Mode
A repeater is placed between an AP and a client to extend the distance between the two
WLAN devices.Functioning as a repeater, the 5-into-1 connects to both a client card as an AP
and to another AP.Two repeater modes are available in the All-into-1:
• WDS Repeater:
WDS Repeaters connect as APs to other APs using the WDS link and MAC address to
identify one another.
• Universal Repeater:
Universal Repeaters connect as child clients to parent APs using the SSID to connect.
Figure 2 shows an example of a Repeater network with two 5-into-1 Repeaters connected to a
5-into-1 AP, with each Repeater allowing wireless clients to associate.
