5 Type a new password and retype it to confirm, then click Apply. Otherwise, click Ignore.
Note: You have to log in to the Web Configurator again when you change modes. As soon
as you do, your WRE6505 is already in Universal Repeater mode.

client can only access the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. In the following figure, the LAN Client is
only able to communicate with devices in the 2.4 GHz wireless network.
