Repeater / Repeater Bridge

  • Repeater Bridge - A wireless repeater with DHCP & NAT disabled, clients on same subnet as host AP.
  • Universal Wireless Repeater - Uses another 3rd party program called AutoAP...if you wish to manually configure...use Repeater mode below.
  • Repeater - A wireless repeater with DHCP & NAT enabled, clients on different subnet from host AP.

Client / Client Bridge

  • Wireless Bridge - Join two wired networks by two Wireless routers building a bridge.
  • Client Bridged - (simplified instructions for a wireless bridge)
  • Client Mode - Join two wired networks by two Wireless routers (unbridged).

Access Point / Switch

  • Wireless Access Point - Extend Wi-Fi & LAN (Requires physical ethernet connection between routers)
  • Switch - Similar config as WAP, but radio disabled (accepts only wired connections)
