Figure 4-12 Wireless Settings in Repeater mode
 Repeater Mode - Select the mode based on your need.
 Universal Repeater - In Universal Repeater mode (the default), the AP will relay all
data to an associated root AP (with AP function enabled). The wireless repeater relays
signals between its stations and the root AP for a greater wireless range.
 WDS Repeater - In WDS Repeater mode, the AP will relay data to an associated root
WDS enabled AP. The wireless repeater relays signal between its stations and the root
AP for greater wireless range, but there are restrictions, such as decreased throughput
(by 50%), MAC address identification is required and security is limited to statically
pre-assigned WEP or WPA keys.
 Wireless Name of Root AP - If you select Universal Repeater, the AP client will connect to
the Root AP according to SSID. Enter the SSID of AP that you want to access.
 MAC Address of Root AP - If you select Universal or WDS Repeater, the AP client will
connect to the Root AP using its MAC address. Enter the MAC address of AP that you want
to access (for WDS Repeater, this is the only connection option).
 Channel Width - Determines the channel width to be used. It is unnecessary to change the
default value unless required.
 Enable Wireless Radio - Select or deselect this check box to allow or deny wireless
stations to access the Repeater AP.
