Field
Enable Wireless Repeating
Description
Enable this if you wish to use either Bridge mode or Repeater mode,
and then select the mode you want for your environment.
Wireless Repeater. In this mode, the MBR1000 will
•
communicate only with another Base Station–mode wireless
station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of
the other Base Station–mode wireless station in the field
provided. WEP / WPA-PSK [TKIP] can (and should) be used to
protect this communication.
Wireless Base Station. Select this only if this MBR1000 is the
•
"master" for a group of Repeater-mode wireless stations. The
other Repeater–mode wireless stations must be set to Wireless
Repeater–mode, using this MBR1000's MAC address. They
then send all traffic to this master, rather than communicate
directly with each other. WEP / WPA-PSK [TKIP] can (and
should) be used to protect this traffic. If this option is selected,
you must enter the MAC addresses of the other access points in
the fields provided.
