Customizing Your Network Settings

v1.0, March 2009

If this check box is selected, the modem router communicates wirelessly only with other APs
whose MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The modem 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.

2. Log into the modem router base unit, under the Advanced heading, select Wireless Repeating

Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen.

3. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box and the Wireless Base Station

radio button.

4. Enter the MAC address for the repeater units.

5. Click Apply to save your changes.
