Wireless repeater

. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a

remote access point. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the

remote parent access point.

enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless

repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base
