Verifying Repeater Operation

After you set up the repeater, check the status indicators on top of the repeater
access point. If your repeater is functioning correctly, the status indicators on the
repeater and the root access point behave like this:

The status indicator on the root access point is steady green, indicating

that at least one client device is associated with it, in this case, the repeater.

The status indicators on the repeater access point is steady green when it is

associated with the root access point and the repeater has client devices
associated to it. The repeater's status indicator flashes (steady green for 7/8
of a second and off for 1/8 of a second) when it is associated with the root
access point but the repeater has no client devices associated to it.

The repeater access point appears as associated with the root access point in the
root access point's Association Table.
