- | == How to configure DLINK DIR-300 as AP Repeater == | ||
- | I Have been researching because I need to use my DLINK Dir-300 as a Repeater Bridge | ||
- | This operation mode is easily to find in a broadcom based hardware such as linksys, etc, BUT you can not set "Repeater Bridge" Mode on a Dir-300 | ||
- | |||
- | So Here's how to make the stuff : | ||
- | |||
- | I Assume that you already have an AP working under your administration. | ||
- | Lets say that this AP SSID is "AP1" With a LAN IP ADDRESS of 192.168.1.1 | ||
- | |||
- | Ok, starting with that you have to go to your DIR-300 Configuration Page, now go to the "Setup" tab, now on "Wan Connection Type" On connection type, select '''DISABLED''' | ||
- | On "Network Setup" | ||
- | "Local IP address" (the LAN IP of the DIR-300) of course it got to be on the same network as LAN on "AP1" | ||
- | "Subnet mask" The same subnet mask used in LAN for AP1 | ||
- | '''here is the important thing :''' | ||
- | On "Gateway" you have to write the IP address of AP1 LAN Address | ||
- | On "Local DNS" you have to write the IP address of AP1 LAN Address | ||
- | |||
- | Next you have to DISABLE the DCHP server on DIR-300 | ||
- | |||
- | Finally Click on "Save" and "Apply Settings" | ||
- | |||
- | Now we move to the tab "Wireless" on the DIR-300 | ||
- | once there you have to modify Wireless Mode drop down box and select "CLIENT BRIDGE" | ||
- | Now you have to go to Wireless Network Name (SSID) and write the SSID of AP1 | ||
- | Now go to "Virtual Interfaces" and do a click on ADD | ||
- | next write a name (SSID) for this virtual interface it could be Any SSID that you want to, included AP1 SSID | ||
- | |||
- | Now it's time to SAVE SETTINGS do not click on APPLY YET. | ||
- | |||
- | Now you have to go to "Status" Tab , Now Wireless menu, at the botton on the page you will find the "Site Survey" Button do a click on it, you will of course find AP1 SSID and the chance to JOIN, do a click on Join to AP1 | ||
- | |||
- | Now you have to go back to the "Wireless TAB" and do a click on "Apply Settings" | ||
- | And that's it. | ||
- | |||
- | Now you have a DIR-300 Working as a repeater of AP1. | ||
