Set Up a Repeater Unit

Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless
connection to the base station.
Note:
If you are using the R6200 base station with a non- router as the
repeater, you might need to change additional configuration settings.
In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function on the
wireless repeater AP.
To configure the router as a repeater unit:

1. Log in to the router that will be the repeater. Select Basic > Wireless Settings and
verify that the wireless settings match the base unit exactly. The wireless security option
has to be set to WEP or None.
2. Select Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function.
3. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box.
4. Select the Wireless Repeater radio button.
