Wireless Repeating Function - NETGEAR MBR1515 User Manual

Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a
remote access point. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the
remote parent access point.
The MBR1515 router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio.
When you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station, or
wireless repeater, cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the
wireless base station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or
wireless base station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.
For you to set up a wireless network with WDS, the following conditions have to be met for
both access points:
• Both access points have to use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.
• Both access points have to be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the access point
LAN IP addresses are in the same network.
• All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) have to be configured to operate in the
same LAN network address range as the access points.
