Doing this enables the wireless modem router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another wireless wireless modem router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.
Page 102: Wireless Repeating Function
To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the remote parent access point. The DGND3700v2 wireless modem router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. Be aware that if you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band.
