5-22 Customizing Your Network Settings
v1.1, October 2008
• All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) must be configured to operate in the same
LAN network address range as the APs.
• When the wireless router is in dual band mode (the Mode field on the Wireless Settings screen
is set to Up to 270 Mbps at 5 GHz and 54 Mbps at 2.4 GHz), the WDS function works only
in 5GHz 11N mode. To use the 2.4GHz 11g protocol with WDS, set the Mode field in the
Wireless Settings screen to Up to 130 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. If you make changes in the Wireless
Settings screen, click Apply so that they take effect.
Wireless Repeating Function
You can view or change wireless repeater settings for the wireless router. From the main menu of
the browser interface, under Advanced, click Wireless Repeating Function to display the
Wireless Repeating Function screen.
The wireless router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to
control wireless client association:
• Wireless Repeater. The wireless router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired
computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the
remote parent AP.
• Wireless Base Station. The wireless 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 must know the MAC addresses of the child repeater AP.
