How to Use HiPER 510W as a Wireless Repeater to Extend WLANRange
 
The HiPER 510W 3G wireless VPN router supports multiple operation modes: AP mode, AP Client mode, and three WDS modes including Repeater mode, Bridge mode and Lazy mode. Repeater mode allows the HiPER 510W to act as a wireless repeater to extend the range of wireless network.
 
User Requirements
As shown the following figure, a user uses one HiPER 510W (denoted as 510W-1) to connect to the Internet. Now he has purchased another HiPER 510W (denoted as 510W-2) in order to extend the range of wireless network. To achieve this, we need to configure 510W-1 to operate in Lazy Mode, and configure 510W-2 to act as a repeater for 510W-1.
 
 
Configuration Steps
1.Configuring 510W-1
2.Login to the Web UI of 510W-1.
3.Go to the Network > LAN page to set LAN IP address to 192.168.51.1.
 
 
Go to the Wireless > Basic page to select Lazy Mode from the Operation Mode drop-down list, and configure other basic wireless settings, see the following figure. In addtion, please take note of the Wireless MAC Address of 510W, which will be entered on 510W-2.
 
 
1.Configuring 510W-2
2.Login to the Web UI of 510W-2.
3.Go to the Network > LAN page to set LAN IP address to 192.168.51.2.
 
  • Go to the Wireless > Basic page to select Repeater Mode from the Operation Mode drop-down list, enter the wireless MAC address of 510W in the first AP MAC Address text box, and configure other basic wireless settings as required, see the following figure.
