Repeater

A repeater is an electronic device that receives a weak or low-level signal and
retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, so that the signal can cover longer
distances without degradation.
The example figure illustrates the
releationship among the repeaters
and the clients. In this example,
client A, B, and C can access AP-A,
but client D and E cannot. In this
case, AP-B extends the coverage
erea of AP-A, thus allows client D
and E to receive the signal
smoothly.
The web page allows you to configure the wireless distribution system for the
wireless network.
AP Mode:
Choose an AP mode that you would
like to use.
Search Other Repeaters:
You can configure other routers as
your repeater by setting up repeater
feature mutually. Click the Scan Now
button to search other repeater in the
wireless network automatically. The
result will be shown on the chart.
Note: To configure the repeater
function among routers, they must use
the same channel, SSID and WEP
key, so that they may work as
repeaters for each other.
If you select Manual for Search Other
Repeaters, you will need to type the
MAC address for wireless repeaters in
the boxes of MAC Address of
Remote Wireless Repeaters.
The right figure shows an example
result of executing the function of
auto-searching repeaters.
You may select the routers (which use
the same channel as yours) from the
table and configure the same SSID
and WEP key with the one you chose,
so that the routers can function as
repeaters for each other to extend the
coverage area.
When you finish the settings, please
click Apply to invoke them.
