Repeater with Wireless Client Association

In the repeater mode with wireless client association, the DGN2200M Mobile Edition wireless
modem router sends all traffic to a remote access point. For the repeater mode, you must
enter the MAC address of the remote "parent" access point. Alternatively, you can configure
the DGN2200M Mobile Edition wireless modem 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 DGN2200M Mobile
Edition wireless modem router.
• You cannot configure a sequence of parent-child APs. You are limited to only one parent
access point, although if the DGN2200M Mobile Edition wireless modem router is the
parent access point, it can connect with up to four child APs.
