Set Up a Repeater Unit

Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the
wireless connection to the base station.

Note:

If you are using the N150R base station with a different router as the
repeater, you might need to change additional configuration
settings. In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function
on the wireless repeater AP.

To configure the router as a repeater unit:

1.

Log in to the router that will be the repeater. Select Setup > WiFi Settings and verify

that the wireless settings match the base unit exactly. The wireless security option has

to be set to WEP or None.

2.

Select Advanced > WiFi Repeating Function, and select the Enable Wireless Repeating
Function

check box and the Wireless Repeater radio button.

3.

Fill in the Repeater IP Address field. This IP address has to be in the same subnet as the

base station, but different from the LAN IP address of the base station.

4.

Click Apply to save your changes.

5.

Verify connectivity across the LANs.

A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the router should be able to
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired
computer or server connected to the other access point.
