You can select the type of Repeater mode: Normal, Ranging, or Speed mode.
The device enables you to extend the range of your dual-band router to eliminate "dead spots" in
your wireless network. You can choose from normal, ranging, or speed modes for both your 2.4GHz
and 5GHz networks.
The following terms are used to describe the Repeater mode:
• Up: The connection from the WAP6806 to the Router
• Down: The connection from the WAP6806 to a client
The following section describes the normal, ranging, or speed modes.
As connection profiles are established, the WAP6806 maintains a record of the varying profiles and
automatically joins the network when in range.
Note: The home wireless network is the initial setup environment. The WAP6806 does not
have any established network profiles at the time of initial setup.
