N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2 Modem Router DGND3800B
Wireless Repeating Networks
Note: If you want to use the Wireless Repeating feature, you have to go to
the Wireless Settings screen and change the wireless security
setting of the router to WEP or None, and you have to change the
Channel field to a different setting than Auto, which is the default.
For more information, see Wireless Settings on page 35.
With the modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an
IEEE 802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router with other
access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients using their MAC
addresses rather than IP addresses. Here are some examples of wireless bridged
configurations:
• Point-to-point bridge. The modem router communicates with another bridge-mode
wireless station. See Set Up a Point-to-Point Bridge on page 88.
• Multi-point bridge. The modem router is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless
stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points. See Set
Up a Multi-Point Bridge on page 90.
• Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See Repeater with Wireless Client Association on page 91.
The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and
receive traffic.
