An Access Point can be configured as a stand-alone repeater to extend the range
of your infrastructure or to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio
communication. The repeater forwards traffic between wireless users and the
wired LAN by sending packets to either another repeater or to an Access Point
connected to the wired LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides the
greatest performance for the client. Figure 1-3 shows an Access Point acting as a
repeater.
