N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDRMAC
Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)
You can set the WNDRMAC router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this
enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another
wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.
Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless
network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to
link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.

Note:
If you use the wireless repeating function, you need to select either
WEP
or
None
as a security option in the Wireless Settings screen.
The WEP option displays only if you select the wireless mode
Up to
54Mbps
in the Wireless Settings screen.
Wireless Base Station
. The router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and
from the child repeater access point, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers.
To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC addresses of the child repeater access
point.

N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDRMAC
Wireless Repeater
. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a
remote access point. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the
remote parent access point.
The WNDRMAC router is always in dual band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one
radio. Be aware that if you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless
base station or wireless repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you
enable the wireless base station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a
wireless router or wireless base station, dual band concurrent mode is not affected.
For you to set up a wireless network with WDS,
t
he following conditions have to be met for
both access points:
•
Both access points have to use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.
•
Both access points have to be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the access point
LAN IP addresses are in the same network.
•
All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) have to be configured to operate in the
same LAN network address range as the access points.
Wireless Repeating Function
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function
to view or change
wireless repeater settings for the router.
The set of fields is the same for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wireless network.
•
Enable Wireless Repeating Function (2.4 GHz/5 GHz)
. Select the check box for the
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network to use the wireless repeating function.
•
Wireless MAC of this router
. This field displays the MAC address for your router for
your reference. You will need to enter this MAC address in the corresponding Wireless
Repeating Function screen of the other access point you are using.
