Q2: How to set up the Universal Repeater Connection
In this case, we use 5GHz wireless to connect to the root AP and then repeat the wireless signal by using the
2.4GHz wireless interface to let the 2.4GHz wireless clients surf the internet.
Topology:
1. Before configuration, please ensure the 5GHz root AP is already connected to the internet and
the DHCP server is enabled to let it able to assign IP address to the connected clients.
2. Please ensure there is no IP conflict in the existing network. Otherwise, please re-configure the
WDAP-C7200AC using other IP addresses which should be in the same network segment. The
default IP address of the WDAP-C7200AC is
192.168.1.253
.
