WAP3205 User’s Guide

CHAPTER 5

Universal Repeater Mode

5.1 Overview

In universal repeater mode, your WAP3205 can act as an access point and

wireless client at the same time. The WAP3205 can connect to an existing network

through another access point and also lets wireless clients connect to the network

through it. This helps you expand wireless coverage when you have an access

point or wireless router already in your network.

In the example below, the WAP3205 (A) is configured as a universal repeater. It

has three clients that want to connect to the Internet. The WAP3205 wirelessly

connects to the available access point (B).

After the WAP3205 and the access point connect, the WAP3205 acquires its IP

address from the access point. The clients of the WAP3205 can now surf the

Internet.

5.2 What You Can Do

•Use the Status screen (Section 4.5 on page 35) to view read-only information

about your WAP3205.

•Use the LAN screen (Chapter 11 on page 117) to set the IP address for your

WAP3205.

•Use the Wireless LAN > Universal Repeater screen (Section 4.6 on page 37)

to configure the security between the WAP3205 and another access point.
