e. Click Apply.
2. Set up AP 2 and AP 3 to be wireless repeaters.
a. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen for AP 2 and AP 3, select the Enable
Wireless Repeating Function check box.
b. Select the Wireless Repeater radio button.
c. Select the corresponding Disable Wireless Client Association check box.
d. Enter the MAC addresses for your modem router in the Base Station MAC Address
field.
e. Click Apply.
3. Disable the DHCP server on AP 2 and AP 3. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.
4. Verify the following for all access points:
• The modem router and other access points operate in the same LAN network address
range as the LAN devices.
• Only one access point, your modem router in Figure 14, Multi-point bridge example, is
set up as the base station. The others are set up as repeaters.
• All access points, including your modem router, are on the same LAN. That is, all the
access point LAN IP addresses are in the same network.
• If you are using DHCP, all access points should be set as DHCP clients. This setting
is Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP Client) in the Basic Settings screen.
• All access points, including your modem router, use the same SSID, channel,
authentication mode, if any, and WEP security settings if security is in use.
5. Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any LAN segment should be able to
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected
to any of the three LAN segments.
Note: Wireless stations configured as in Figure 13 on page 89 cannot
connect to the modem router or access points. If you want wireless
stations to access any LAN segment, use additional access points in
any LAN segment.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
In the repeater mode with wireless client association, your modem router sends all traffic to a
base station access point. You can set up the modem router as either the base station
(parent) or as the repeater (child) access point.
Note that the following restrictions apply:
• You do not have the option of disabling client associations with this modem router.
• You cannot configure a sequence of parent-child APs. You are limited to only one parent
access point, although if your modem router is the parent access point, it can connect
with up to four child access points.
