daisy-chained. You have to know the wireless settings for both units. You have to know the
MAC address of the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:

1. Set up both units with exactly the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and
security). The wireless security option has to be set to None or WEP.
2. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function to display the
Wireless Repeating Function screen.
3. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen.
4. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box and select the Wireless Base
Station radio button.

6. Click Apply to save your changes.

Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless
connection to the base station.
