5.3 What You Need to Know
With the exception of the Wireless LAN > Universal Repeater screen, other configuration
screens in Universal Repeater mode are similar to the ones in Access Point Mode. See Chapter 11
on page 101 through Chapter 12 on page 105 of this User’s Guide.
5.4 Setting your WAP3205 to Universal Repeater Mode
1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the WAP3205.
2 The default IP address of the WAP3205 is “192.168.1.2”. In this case, your computer must have an
IP address in the range between “192.168.1.3” and “192.168.1.254”.
3 Click Start > Run on your computer in Windows. Type “cmd” in the dialog box. Enter “ipconfig” to
show your computer’s IP address. If your computer’s IP address is not in the correct range then see
Appendix C on page 141 for information on changing your computer’s IP address.
4 After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and
type “http://192.168.1.2” as the web address in your web browser.
5 Enter “1234” (default) as the password and click Login.
6 Type a new password and retype it to confirm, then click Apply. Otherwise, click Ignore.
7 To set your WAP3205 to Universal Repeater Mode, on the left of the screen, click Maintenance
> Sys OP Mode and select Universal Repeater Mode.
Figure 20 Changing to Universal Repeater mode
Note: You have to log in to the Web Configurator again when you change modes. As soon
as you do, your WAP3205 is already in Universal Repeater mode.
Note: The universal repeater mode IP address is always the same as the access point
mode IP address. If you changed the IP address of your WAP3205 while in access
point mode, use this IP address in universal repeater mode.
