To configure the router as a repeater:

3. Select Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function.
4. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box.
5. Select the Wireless Repeater radio button.
6. Fill in the Repeater IP Address field.
This IP address has to be in the same subnet as the base station, but different from the
LAN IP address of the base station.

clients from associating with the repeater and allowing LAN client associations only.

with the repeater.

should function as the base station.
9. Click Apply.
Your changes are saved.
