N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2
Wireless Repeating Function
You can view or change wireless repeater settings for the N300 wireless modem router. From
the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click Wireless Repeating Function
to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen.
The N300 wireless modem router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and
allows you to control wireless client association:
• Wireless Repeater. T
he N300 wireless modem router sends all traffic from its local
wireless or wired computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you need to know
the MAC address of the remote parent AP.
• W
ireless Base Station. The
N300 wireless modem router acts as the parent AP, bridging
traffic to and from the child repeater AP, as well as handling wireless and wired local
computers. To configure this mode, you need to know the MAC addresses of the child
repeater AP.
• Disable Wireless Client Association. Usu
ally this check box is cleared so that the N300
wireless modem router is an access point for wireless computers.
If this check box is selected, the N300 wireless modem router communicates wirelessly
on
ly with other APs whose MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The N300 wireless
modem router still communicates with wire-connected LAN devices.
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 settings for both units. You need to know the
MAC address of the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:
1. Set up both units with exactly the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and
security). No
te that the wireless security option needs to be set to None or WEP.
