1. Introduction

1.4.4 WDS Repeater Mode

In WDS Repeater mode, the AP60 functions as a repeater that extends the range of remote
wireless LAN. In this mode, the remote Access Point must have WDS (Wireless
Distribution System) capability. If you require the PC's MAC addresses to be preserved
when the data pass through the Repeater, it is necessary to use the WDS Repeater mode.
Because the radio is divided into WDS + AP mode, the Repeater mode will have less
performance and distance.

1.4.5 Universal Repeater Mode

In Universal Repeater mode, the AP60 functions as a repeater that extends the range of
remote wireless LAN. This mode can repeat the signal of any remote AP/Router, even if
they do not have WDS capability. However, the MAC addresses of any wireless traffic
going through Universal Repeater are "translated" into the Repeater's MAC address. As a
result, any applications that require identification by MAC address (such as hotspot or
firewall) can not use this mode. It is also recommended to use "DHCP" Relay function to
get IP address from remote DHCP server.
Because the radio is divided into Client + AP mode, the Repeater mode will have less
performance and distance.
