Wireless Repeating (WDS)
You can set the modem router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this
enables the modem router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to
another wireless modem 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
wireless 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.

If you use the wireless repeating function, you need to select either WEP or None as a
security option in the Wireless Settings screen. The WEP option displays only if you select
the wireless mode Up to 54 Mbps in the Wireless Settings screen.
Wireless base station.
The modem router acts as the parent access point by bridging traffic
to and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and
wired local computers. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC addresses of the
child repeater access point.
