WiFi Repeating (WDS)

You can set the N150R router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this
enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another
wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.
Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a
wireless network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired
backbone to link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.
