To configure a LAN segment utilizing the WN802T in Repeater Mode:
1. Configure the Operating Mode of the RangeMax NEXTs.
• Configure AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address of
the "downstream" remote AP (AP2).
• Configure AP2 in Repeater mode with the MAC address of the "upstream" AP (AP1).
2. Verify the following parameters for all access points:
• That the RangeMax NEXTs are configured to operate in the same LAN network address
range as the LAN devices.
• That all APs are on the same LAN. That is, all AP LAN IP addresses must be in the same
network.
• If using DHCP, that all RangeMax NEXTs should be set to "Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP Client)" in the IP Address section of the IP Settings screen.
• That all RangeMax NEXTs use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and
encryption in use.
3. Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and
printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three WLAN segments.
