4.5 Repeater Mode (Only for O3)
4.5.1 Overview
In Repeater mode, the CPE connects 2 or more (this device supports 4 at most) wired networks with a wireless
link, and can be connected with both wired and wireless clients. To use this function, the peer AP is required to
support WDS function. Repeater mode is used to achieve communication between multiple offices of an
enterprise in a city.
The CPE in Repeater mode can works with the CPE in Repeater or P2MP mode. It supports one to four bridging at
most.
