• Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers
to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the
remote parent access point.
For you to set up a wireless network in a WDS,
access points:
• Both access points must use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.
• Both access points must 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) must be configured to operate in the
same LAN network address range as the access points.
• The channel selection on the access points cannot be Auto (see
on page 28).
• The security option must be WEP (or no security). The WEP option displays only if you
select Up to 54 Mbps from the Mode list on the Wireless Settings screen (see
