Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)
You can set the N300 Wireless Gigabit Router with USB up to be used as a wireless access
point (AP). Doing this enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater

becomes the ISP service.

network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to
link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.
