Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)
You can set the N600 Wireless Dual Band Router up to be used as a wireless access point
(AP). This enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to
another wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP
service.
Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a wirele
ss
network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to
link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.
