• Repeater Access Point—An access point that transfers data between a client

and another access point or repeater. Use this setting for access points not

connected to the wired LAN. Figure 3-3 shows an access point operating as a

repeater in a network.

Note Non-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with

repeater access points.
