W300A-How to set the repeater mode?
Product line: Wireless Question category: Function configuration
Q: Why do we want to configure W300A to work as repeater mode?
A: Repeater Mode can repeat and amplify wireless signals to extend wireless network coverage. In this mode, wireless clients and wired clients are allowed to connect.
The Connection Topology is as below:
Note:
1. Your root router must support WDS feature.
2. Make sure your Access Point’s IP address is different from IP address of root router, but the IP address should be in the same IP segment.
We have to do two parts of configurations depend on the above topology.
