Step 3 Enter the password of the network you are trying to replicate. Step 4 Press Save and wait for 2-5 minutes to allow the AR686WV2 to pick up the signal from the router whose network you are repeating. C. AP+WDS This function is very similar to Repeater mode in that the router will take its input signal from a pre-existing network. The difference is that when using AP+WDS, the AR686WV2 is able to broadcast its own unique SSID and network. Repeater mode creates an extension of your base router, while AP+WDS creates a separate network using the signal of your base router. Both achieve a similar function, but AP+WDS allows you to distinguish between the base router and the "repeating" router. 29
