Setup Linksys WAP54G To Extent The Signal Of A Linksys Router

Posted: Feb 24, 2011 |
You can setup the Linksys wireless-G access point as an access Point, wireless repeater, access point client, and wireless bridge. The Linksys wireless repeater mode will turn your Linksys wireless-g access point into a wireless repeater in order to extend the range of your wireless signal generated by a Linksys router or another Linksys wireless access point. In addition, the Linksys wireless access point WAP54G can work as a wireless repeater with these Linksys devices: Linksys Wireless-G Access Point (WAP54G) and Linksys Wireless-G Router (WRT54G).

To setup your Linksys wireless access point as a wireless repeater, you have to do two things: checking the wireless MAC address of your wireless router or access point, and setup the wireless repeater mode on the Linksys wireless access point WAP54G.
To Setup the wireless repeater mode on the WAP54G Linksys wireless access point, read the following step by step procedure:

Step 1: Open your Linksys access point's web-based setup interface. If you do not know how to do it on Mac, then refer to the Linksys support site for more information.

Step 2: Once your Linksys access point's web-based setup interface opens, click on AP Mode, and then click on Wireless Repeater. Take into account that the Linksys wireless access point's web-based setup interface may differ depending on your actual Linksys wireless access point's version number.

Step 3: in the Remote Access Point's LAN MAC Address field, enter the wireless MAC address of the wireless router or wireless access point that the current wireless access will extend its signal. In addition, make sure to remove the colons when you enter the wireless MAC address on the Remote Access Point's LAN MAC Address field.

Step 4: Click on the Save Settings button.

Finally, if you will connect the actual Linksys wireless repeater to another Linksys wireless access point such as WAP54G, then try to modify the LAN IP address of the wireless repeater.
