Configuring FRITZ!Box as a Repeater
4.
Enter the MAC address of the repeater(s) with which
you would like to extend your wireless network.
5.
Select on the “Security” settings page.
6.
Specify the type of encryption for the connection.
WPA2 encryption can be used only if the repeater is al-
so a FRITZ!Box. With other repeaters, WDS can only be
used non-encrypted or with WEP encryption, since the
WLAN standard is not stipulated for any other encryp-
tion with WDS.
7.
Enter a password.
8.
Click “Apply”.
9.
The “Repeater Settings” window appears. It displays
the repeater settings of the FRITZ!Box. We recommend
printing out these settings by clicking the “Print Page”
button.
This concludes the configuration of the FRITZ!Box as a base
station.
Register the FRITZ!Box settings you printed out in each re-
peater operating in your wireless network. If you are using a
FRITZ!Boxas a repeater, please read the next section.
Configuring FRITZ!Box as a Repeater
First enable your base station for WDS operation and make
sure that the WLAN function has been enabled.
1.
Open the “Operating Mode” settings page by clicking
through “Settings / WLAN / Repeater” and select the
“Repeater” option.
2.
Enter the MAC address of the base station here.
The MAC address is generally printed on a sticker on
the base of the device. If the base station is a
FRITZ!Box, enter the address you printed out as de-
scribed in the section “Configuring FRITZ!Box as a
Base Station” on page 66.
