Figure 4-10
The wireless router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to
control wireless client association:
• Wireless Base Station mode. The wireless router acts as the parent AP, bridging traffic to and
from the child repeater AP, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers. To
configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child repeater AP.
• Wireless Repeater mode. The wireless router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired
computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the
remote parent AP.
• Disable Wireless Client Association. Usually this check box is cleared so that the router is an
access point for wireless computers.
If this check box is selected, the router communicates wirelessly only with other APs whose
MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The router still communicates with wire-connected
LAN devices.
