N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4300
Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)
You can set the WNDR4300 router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this
enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another
wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.
Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless
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.

WEP or None as a security option in the Wireless Settings screen.
The WEP option displays only if you select the wireless mode Up to
54 Mbps in the Wireless Settings screen.
Wireless base station.
The router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and
from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and wired local
computers. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC addresses of the child
repeater access point.
