Repeater Mode - EnGenius EAP350 User Manual

use the EAP350 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as
shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can
establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access
Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More
Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This
configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network
loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the
Spanning Tree setting (see 6.3 Spanning Tree Setting, below) to
prevent this from happening.

4.4 Repeater mode

The Repeater mode is used to regenerate or replicate
signals from a wireless
point/station that is unable to reach certain areas in a
router or other access
building. When this mode is activated in the EAP350, the
EAP350 receives the wireless signal from an existing
router or AP and relays it to other devices within its range
so they can join the network.
