Introduction
How to Configuring an Access-Point as a Repeater
Commands on Repeater
We used the following commands on the Repeater
First of all there should be a root device, to which the clients are already able to connect fine.
We should know the name of the SSID that is being used on the Root Device
On the repeater also, we should set the same authentication and encryption parameters that we have on the Root device.
In addition to the above, we set the following commands on the root and the Root Device
Topology
