If this check box is selected, the router communicates wirelessly only with other APs whose MAC
addresses are listed in this screen. The router still communicates with wire-connected LAN
devices.

Setting Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be daisy
chained. You must know the wireless settings for both units. You must 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).

Note that the wireless security option must be set to None or WEP.

Note: The WNDR3700 router is always in dual band concurrent mode, unless you turn

off one radio. Be aware that if you 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 station in either radio band and use
the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base station, dual band
concurrent mode is not affected.
