The Universal repeater function allows the NWA in root AP or repeater mode to set up a wireless connection
between it and another NWA in root AP or repeater mode.
Note: Universal repeater security is independent of the security settings between the NWA and any wireless
clients.

DESCRIPTION
If you are in the Wireless LAN > Wireless Settings or Wireless LAN > Wireless
Settings- 2.4G screen, you can select from the following:
• 802.11b/g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced.
• 802.11b/g/n to allow IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of the NWA might be
reduced.
• 802.11n to allow only IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
NWA.
If you are in the Wireless LAN > Wireless Settings- 5G screen, you can select from
the following:
• 802.11a/n to allow IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the NWA.
• 802.11a to allow only IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
NWA.
• 802.11n to allow only IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
NWA.
• 802.11a/n/ac to allow IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11ac compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of the NWA might be
reduced.
Select the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region from the
drop-down list box.
This field displays only when you select 802.11n, 802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n or
802.11a/n/ac in the Wireless Mode field.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps. However, not all
devices support 40MHz channels.
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
It is recommended that you select 20/40MHz. This allows the NWA to adjust the channel
bandwidth depending on network conditions.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
Local MAC Address is the MAC address of your NWA.
Select the SSID profile you want to use for universal repeater connections with an AP or
repeater or regular wireless connections with wireless clients.
Note: You can only configure None, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security mode for the SSID
used by a universal repeater connection.
Specify the peer device's MAC address. The peer device can be a NWA in either root AP
mode or repeater mode.
When a wirelessly network device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval.
This specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again. The interval tells
receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in lowpower mode before waking
up to handle the beacon. A high value helps save current consumption of the access point.
