Expanding Your Wireless Network
The WGT624 v4 wireless router can be used with a wireless access point (AP) to build large
bridged wireless networks. Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario:
In the scenario shown, the following conditions must be met for both APs:
• Both APs must use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode (see information
about WEP in “WEP Wireless Security” on page 2-6”).
• Both APs must be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the AP LAN IP addresses are in the
same network.
• All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) must be configured to operate in the same
LAN network address range as the APs.
Warning: If you use the wireless repeating function, your options for wireless security
are limited to None or WEP. For more information about wireless security, see
“Understanding Wireless Security” on page 2-2.”
