repeater (child) access point.
Note that the following restrictions apply:
• You do not have the option of disabling client associations with this router.
• You cannot configure a sequence of parent-child APs. You are limited to only one parent
access point, although if your router is the parent access point, it can connect with up to
four child access points.
