NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B User Manual Figure 4-6 The WNR834B router supports two modes of the Wireless Repeating function: • In Wireless Repeater mode, the WNR834B router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the remote "parent" AP. • In Wireless Base Station mode, the WNR834B router acts as the "parent" AP, bridging traffic to and from the "child" repeater APs, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the "child" repeater APs. In either of these modes, you can configure whether the router (or AP) will communicate with local wireless computers by enabling or disabling the Wireless Client Association function: • Enabled. In addition to performing wireless repeating with remote APs, the router will act as an AP to connect local wireless computers. • Disabled. The router will only communicate wirelessly with other APs whose MAC addresses are listed in this menu. The router will not accept local wireless connections. (Communication with wire-connected LAN devices is not disabled.) Customizing Your Network Settings v2.1, July 2007 4-11
