6.17.2 Wireless Repeater configuration
In Wireless Repeater configuration, a Repeater Wireless AP is installed between
the Root Wireless AP and the Satellite Wireless AP. The Repeater Wireless AP
relays the user traffic between the Root Wireless AP and the Satellite Wireless
AP. This increases the WLAN range.
The following figure illustrates the Wireless Repeater configuration:

Note: The number of Repeater hops that you can deploy in a Wireless Repeater
configuration is restricted to three. There should be no more than two Repeater
Wireless APs between the Satellite AP and the Root AP.
