Repeater: Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for
remote wireless clients and connecting them to an AP connected to
the wired network. The MAC addresses of WDS peers must be
configured on the Wireless-N Access Point/Repeater.
◆ Physical — The radio media coding used on all WDS links. CCK
corresponds to 11b, OFDM corresponds to 11g, and HTMIX corresponds
to 11n.
◆ Encryption Type — The data encryption used on the WDS link. Be
sure that both ends of a WDS link are configured with the same
encryption type and key. (Options: None, WEP, TKIP, AES.
Default: None)
◆ Encryption Key — The encryption key for the WDS link. The key type
and length varies depending on the encryption type selected. For WEP,
enter 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit
keys, or 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-
bit keys. For TKIP or AES, enter a password key phrase of between 8 to
63 ASCII characters, which can include spaces, or specify exactly 64
hexadecimal digits.
◆ AP MAC Address — The MAC address of the other Wireless-N Access
Point/Repeater in the WDS link.
WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP (WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease installation and activation
of security features in wireless networks. WPS has two basic modes of
operation, Push-button Configuration (PBC) and Personal Identification
Number (PIN). The WPS PIN setup is optional to the PBC setup and
provides more security. The WPS button on the Wireless-N Access Point/
Repeater can be pressed at any time to allow a single device to easily join
the network.
The WPS Settings page includes configuration options for setting WPS
device PIN codes and activating the virtual WPS button.
Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “WPS”.
