Repeater With Wireless Client Association - NETGEAR DG834GUV5 User Manual

Repeater with Wireless Client Association

In this mode, the ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router sends all traffic to a remote AP. For Repeater
mode, you must enter the MAC address of the remote "parent" access point. Alternatively, you can
configure the ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router as the parent by entering the address of a "child"
access point. Note that the following restrictions apply:
• You do not have the option of disabling client associations with this ADSL2+ Modem
Wireless Router.
• You cannot configure a sequence of parent/child APs. You are limited to only one parent AP,
although if the DG834GUv5 is the parent AP it can connect with up to four child APs.
The following figure shows an example of a Repeater Mode configuration.
