Repeater Independent
When "Disable" repeater independent, behavior of the repeater access point (VAP1) and the repeater
station (VAP2) are linked. Repeater station (VAP2) is not connected to an access point, repeater access
point (VAP1) will not work. In addition, the channel configuration is ignored, and operate on the same
channel as the access point to which the repeater station (VAP2) is connected.
When "Enable" repeater independent, the repeater access point (VAP1) and the repeater station (VAP2)
operate independently and separately. Regardless of whether the repeater stations (VAP2) are connected
FXE3000 Series
The device serves as a base station for client devices to connect to under the access point.
Virtual AP settings can be configured for VAP1 to VAP4.
The device serves as a client device (slave station) to connect to a station access point.
Only VAP1 settings are used.
The device operates simultaneously as a repeater access point and a station and it serves as a
repeater.
VAP1 settings are the access point settings. VAP2 settings are the station settings.
On wireless networks that use repeaters, the channel and wireless networking specification
must be the same for all devices.
On networks that use two or more repeaters, configure the "Preferred AP" and "Connections
to Non-Preferred APs" functions in the advanced settings and take care to specify the
connection destination clearly so the repeaters do not loop. We also recommend that you set
"Wireless Connection Mode" to "Advanced Infrastructure".
