Overview

Readers will learn how to configure radios in a PtP "repeater" mode topology. This goes by

many different names like WDS Repeater, Repeater Setup, Repeater Bridge, etc. Basically,

two or more Access Points work together to extend a wireless network. The caveat to this

repeater mode is an added degree of instability (especially as the number of Repeater APs

increases) and a decrease in throughput by 50% per hop.
