Wireless Repeater configuration
In Wireless Repeater configuration, a Repeater Altitude AP is installed between the Root Altitude AP
and the Satellite Altitude AP. The Repeater Altitude AP relays the user traffic between the Root Altitude
AP and the Satellite Altitude AP. This increases the WLAN range.
The following figure illustrates the Wireless Repeater configuration:

NOTE
You should restrict the number of repeater hops in a Wireless Repeater configuration to three for optimum
performance.
Wireless Bridge configuration
In Wireless Bridge configuration, the traffic between two Altitude APs that are connected to two
separate wired LAN segments is bridged via WDS link. You may also install a Repeater Altitude AP
between the two Altitude APs connected to two separate LAN segments.
