Repeater function (WDS)
If you want to use a repeater in your wireless network to extend the range, you must
activate the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) function. A repeater installed at the
range limit of the access point ensures that the data is forwarded between clients in the
access points' wireless network and clients in its own radio coverage area. Repeaters and
access points form a common wireless network in which all clients can move about
freely. Clients automatically set up a connection to the next access point / repeater
(Roaming). You must determine for security purposes which access points / repeaters
are to form a common wireless network.
In the Advanced Settings – Wireless Network menu, select Repeater (WDS).
ì
Next to Wireless distribution system, select the On option to activate WDS.
