4.3.1 Wireless Network

After enable the repeater mode, you can click on “Wireless Network” and choose “Site Survey” to pick

one of the SSIDs you would like to retransmit its signal. (Please be noted that while using the repeater

mode, the throughput performance maybe nearly only half compare with Access Point mode. Because

the repeater needs to communicate with original AP and also the clients associate to the repeater at the

same time.)

Site Survey

After click on the “Site Survey” button, you can choose the Access Point you need to extend its range by

clicking on “BSSID” column. Then “Apply” the change to make sure system working properly with new

setting. After all the changes are made, you can check the “Connect Status” page to check current SSID

and link quality / signal strength. Some more information is available at that page.

4.3.2 Wireless Security

In Repeater mode, WAP-6000 supports only WEP security mechanisms. Please refer to section 4.1.6 for

detailed descriptions.
