Set Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be
daisy-chained. You need to know the wireless MAC addresses of all units. First, set up the
base station, and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function.
The Wireless Repeating Function screen displays. The wireless MAC address of the
router is displayed onscreen.
2. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box.
3. Select the Wireless Base Station radio button.
4. (Optional) Select the Disable Wireless Client Association check box to prevent wireless
clients from associating with the base station and allowing LAN client associations only. You
can leave the check box cleared if you prefer wireless clients to be able to associate with the
base stations.
5. In the Repeater MAC Address 1 through 4 fields, enter the MAC addresses for the access
points that should function as repeaters.
If your router is the base station, it can function as the "parent" for up to 4 other access
points.
