Repeater With Wireless Client Association - NETGEAR DG834G Reference Manual

Repeater with Wireless Client Association

In this mode, the ADSL Modem Wireless Router sends all traffic to a remote AP. For repeater
mode, you must enter the MAC address of the remote "parent" access point. Alternatively, you can
configure the ADSL Modem Wireless Router as the parent by entering the address of a "child"
access point. Note that the following restrictions apply:
• You do not have the option of disabling client associations with this ADSL Modem Wireless
Router.
• You cannot configure a sequence of parent/child APs. You are limited to only one parent AP,
although if the DG834G v3 is the parent AP it can connect with up to four child APs.
The figure below shows an example of a Repeater Mode configuration.
